I waited, prayed and cried until my immediate family agreed, and then we came. There was never any question to me that it was the right thing to do.Bat Aliyahhttp://bataliyah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-6082230291471171982011-09-09T15:30:21.310+03:002011-09-09T15:30:21.310+03:00Right you are, Rivkah!

B"H, you did it! I say to all:<br /><br />1. Close your eyes.<br />2. Click your heels together three times.<br />3. Repeat after me, "There's no place like home!"<br />4. When you get here, you'll have many opportunities to say, "Toto, we not in Kansas anymore!"<br /><br />Blessings from Jerusalem,<br />AZAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-31039452712510299682011-09-09T00:41:39.582+03:002011-09-09T00:41:39.582+03:00Oh, and I agree with Batya.

I know most Rabbi's will agree that, yes, we SHOULD make aliyah, but I have yet to hear one strongly encourage or demand it of their congregants. (And I guess I never will, now that I am here!)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401579760660391194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-34498361619446903432011-09-09T00:39:29.851+03:002011-09-09T00:39:29.851+03:00I think there is another thing one needs to do. P...I think there is another thing one needs to do. Put one's trust in Hashem. I have found that when I "let go" and say (I say it out loud), "Ok, Lord, it is up to you. You know what I want and you know what I need. I know that they may not be the same. But I am asking you, please help me. Please make things come right for me." Most of the time, He gives me my request, but not always when I want or expect it, or not in the manner in which I thought to receive it. By "letting go" and not trying to control EVERYTHING, I find more comes to me more easily. In a way this is the same thing, another way of "shaking off one's attachment".Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401579760660391194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976081.post-53864675471727575342011-09-08T12:04:56.412+03:002011-09-08T12:04:56.412+03:00So true.
