The Aliyah Experience the Ultimate Jewish Peoplehood Journey

Shalom All

My family and I have just made Aliyah to Israel 2 weeks ago.  Although we are in the midst of the experience there is nothing like being in center of the Jewish World.   Today is Tu BAV the Jewish day of sharing love.  It is my wish for all you to make it a point this week to show your fellow Jews of your community love and compassion.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel is quoted saying, "There were no better (i.e. happier) days for the people of Israel than the Fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur, since on these days the daughters of Israel/Jerusalem go out dressed in white and dance in the vineyards. What were they saying: Young man, consider whom you choose (to be your wife)?"(Ta'anit, Chapter 4).
