My husband and I made aliyah 2 months after our wedding, 41 years ago, so our adjustments were fewer, but in those days greater, like not having a phone for a year. <br />I just can't imagine a life any place else but here in Eretz Yisrael. Over 40 years later, I'm not sorry a single second.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-64953556197769365782012-01-10T22:39:31.048+02:002012-01-10T22:39:31.048+02:00Fabulous post!!!
