Could We Live Here?
I’m enamored and intrigued by those Nefesh B’Nefesh ads that appear here on occasion promoting events that encourage and facilitate aliyah, promoting the idea that American Jews should emigrate to Israel. I literally love the idea of moving to Israel, but after spending ten days here on several occasions (I’m not saying that’s my limit), Esta […]

Jerusalem Diary
The streets are crowded—actually, they’re overcrowded unlike anything we’ve ever seen in Jerusalem. The last time I saw anything like this was during Shavuos several years ago when hordes of people began heading to the Kotel at 4 a.m. and earlier. So, this year we split the chag.
