I haven't blogged in a while. Too busy dealing with Aliyah preperations and seeing friends and family.
There have been so many things I have wanted to blog about and have written out whole posts including links in my head, but they have remained there.
I should get back to blogging soon. Meanwhile I am still packing and somehow 210 pounds just isn't enough.
100 lbs for a set of Talmud Bavli
and about another hundred for a green mini set of kehati mishnayot, a rambam, a large set of Kehati, an english midrash rabbah, and more
then some clothing.
What most annoyed me is finding out that most suitcases way a bit over 10 lbs. Isn't there a better way to construct suitcases so that they don't take up a fifth of the weight that you are often allowed
Anyway, if anyone wants to meet me at the airport on May 1st at 1:15PM.
And to add another link to a Jewish site that has enough links:
http://onlysimchas.com/galleries/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewsimcha&simchaid=60385&simchatypeid=11
Apparently, Jdate gets 135% more traffic than the second most trafficked Jewish websites, or all other major Jewish websites put together, don't know if that's true. Maybe someone can verify that.
Of course I will be wearing my Hultza/Tilboshet for the flight.
You too can fly Nefesh B'Nefesh. Unless you are already Israeli or live outside the US & Canada & UK. If so then at least there is the Global Aliyah Centre which is a free call from almost anywhere you might live, or at worst a free skype call. They will help you with just about anything Israel & Aliyah related

Soon, you're not going to have the excuse of "being American" for comments like that... or maybe you'll always have the excuse, holding duel-citizenship and all.
mazel tov you crrrrrazy man you!!!!
come on everyone, let's get blind for seraphya's aliyah!
I made Aliya from France 2 years ago.
I had good times in Israel and less good times, but I know it was the right decision to come here.
I will be happy to answer any questions from people who think of doing it and give my advise to them.
Having relatives in Israel already is a big asset.
In case someone wants to find new relatives and stay in touch with the old ones, I can recommend the Israeli website www.jworld.famillion.com
Famillion is a worldwide family project connecting people across the globe, transcending borders and languages. you simply build your family tree and the system matches it with related trees and that way you connect to new or old relatives and make your family tree grow. you can also upload pictures and exchange family stories.
It s a great tool to find relatives and stay in touch with them.
So, guys, let s get all connected!!!
looking forward to receiving your comments...
Stay in touch,
Deborah
Hi Deborah,
http://www.jworld.famillion.com?
I heard about them - thanks for the advise.
Even though I think I know all my relatives, connecting the Jewish world sounds cool.
