Shalom u'vrakha forever ~

From the ancient days when your ancestors walked in sands, in timeless holy Jerusalem, the Western Wall collecting tears and whispered prayers. Lush green hills with bleating sheep, orchards of fruited trees, and children playing. When you make aliyah, as shofars blow throughout the land calling for Shabbat, I'll pray to our God the rest of my days, that you and your family will be safe, dreaming of peace, sleeping under the evefall sky bright with stars just like your forefathers did. ~

Very descriptive write. I can just picture a biblical scene in the Holy Land with your words.

Whoa and Wow! This sure resonates for me. Hoping to do so for the second time in my life. We'll see if I can overcome inertia...

Hi Gershon, for all Jewish people who make aliyah, God be with them. If you and your family decide to make aliyah again, may Hashem always light your way. A good Monday morning to you, shalom :)
