Welcome to the New Olim, Aliyah Anniversary, Birthday, Train Ride

Hi Everyone!

This morning at 4am, I took a taxi to the airport.
It was expensive, but I had no other way to get
there and the event was worth the trip.
6 hours later, I took the train back to Jerusalem and
then a bus to Ma'ale Adumim.

BTW: This was my first ride on the Jerusalem / Tel-Aviv
electric train. It was very cool!!

Back to the airport.....
Today, 225 Olim from North America arrived at
Ben Gurion Airport aboard Nefesh B'Nefesh's
65th Charter Aliyah flight!
I was allowed to join the press and take photos right
outside the plane. It was fun, exciting and I think
the results came out pretty good. Check the photos at:

Next week is my Aliyah Anniversary.
I made aliyah 41 years ago - August 30, 1984

11 years ago, on my 30th annivserary,
I created a short Aliyah Anniversary video.
https://jr.co.il/aliyah/aliyah-anniversary.htm
The video continues to reflect how I feel about living in Israel.
It was the best decision of my life. I highly recommend it!

May the aliyah from all over the world grow and
bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.

Next week, is also my English birthday.
I get free Israel transportation starting August 29.

I did not sleep last night, so after I share the photos,
I hope to get some shuteye.

Please share the photos. Thank You!

Please continue to pray for and support Israel.

39 years Aliyah Anniversary

 Hi Everyone!

Today, August 29, is my English birthday.

My Hebrew birthday starts tonight - 13th of Elul - August 30.

August 30 is also my 39th Aliyah anniversary.

On August 30, 1984, I made aliyah from Brooklyn to Israel.

It was the best decision of my life. I highly recommend it!

You can view my aliyah anniversary video at:

https://jr.co.il/aliyah/aliyah-anniversary.htm

The page also includes a humorous and meaningful video, 

by Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky, relating to why one should consider moving to Israel.

Worth watching!

This week, I added several humorous videos to my "They Spoke Hebrew" video page.

I also added a Youtube playlist of 78 funny Hebrew commercials.

https://jr.co.il/hebrew.htm

Enjoy!

May the aliyah from all over the world grow and

bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.

On my Hebrew birthday, 

I wish everyone a healthy, sweet and good new year!

Jacob
