Shalom Shalom! This is an online journal for friends and family of my return back to Israel, after many years of absence, to pursue graduate studies in Economics. I promise to keep politics out of this and just focus on the day to day tribulations of life in Israel. Enjoy, feel free to comment, and come visit me anytime!

More Hannukah festivities with my parents all of last week (they are still here this week as well). Here we lit all the candles on the last night at my grandparents place in Jerusalem. That specific Hannukiah actually belongs to my great great grandparents, on my fathers side, and will continue down to my grandchildren as well. Every Hannukah that little thing sits in the exact same place, for as long as I can remember.

We all had dinner as well in the dining room (which used to be the bedroom for both my father and his sister for many many cramped years. Below is my sister and my grandmotther, who is now 85.
Here's a little action shot of the family below. From right to left, my father, mother drinking coffee, grandfather on dads side (who is 87), myself, Rona, my cousins girlfriend, and my cousin, Michael.
My parents and sister are still in town this week, and yesterday my friend Jesse arrived from the states. He and I are both invited to Yona's wedding on Thursday, so I will update with photos soon.
