My 40 Years Aliyah Anniversary
Hi Everyone!
Today, August 29, is my English birthday.
My Hebrew birthday is on the 13th of Elul - September 16.
August 30 is my 40th 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 a new Hebrew song page: "Giborey Al" - Superheros
https://jr.co.il/giborey-al.htm
Over the past week, several aliyah group flights landed in Israel.
Welcome Home to the new olim!
You can view photos of the olim at:
https://jr.co.il/aliyah/usa-aliyah.htm
Enjoy the photos.
Please share. Thank you!
May the aliyah from all over the world grow and
bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.
Please continue to pray for and support Israel.
https://jr.co.il/prayers/
May the wounded have a complete and speedy recovery.
May the hostages be freed now.
May God protect the IDF, the police, the security forces
and all of Am Yisrael.
Shabbat Shalom,
Jacob
