I was going to start by saying I have no words to describe this experience. But that’s no true… I have tons of words. Inspiring, emotional, awesome, heart-wrenching, exciting, overwhelming, tiring, stressful, scary, incredible. I could go on and on listing the words and emotions we are now going through as a family – but to write an eloquent post on exactly what we are experiencing, in coherent sentences, is beyond me right now.
The last week and a half has felt like one long day with lots of little naps. It’s so wonderful that with the help of Nefesh B’Nefesh we now have this webisode to share with you. I don’t have to worry about writing, I can just show you. Watch our last 24 hours, the Aliyah flight and our arrival along with 351 new olim in Israel, now.
I’m curious, what words would you use to describe this?

Wonderful, Jamie! I am so happy for you! Where exactly do you live now?
Anybody who sees this video I am sure will run to make Aliyah.

This was sooo beautiful. When is the next teaser coming out? It says august 29th and its already august 30th. It sure is stressful to make aliyah! My grandparents just did it recently. So I sure can’t expect it to be on time. I just love to watch and see your experiance of this adventure! I feel like I’m doing it with u! (Iy’H we’ll all join u there soon!)
I made the mistake of watching this video in my gallery in Tzfat. LOL. I am so teary-eyed I can barely see the screen. Made Aliyah last Sept and I felt all of your emotions as if it were yesterday. I wish you and your family hatzlacha and enjoy and welcome all the challenges and wonders of making aliyah to our precious land. Welcome home!!
Jamie,
Like you, I can not put into words the way I felt when I watched your Aliyah flight. It brought back so many memories and emotions in more ways than you can imagine because exactly 10 years ago, I too made Aliyah with my family from the very same block as you … Zavatone Court, New Hempstead!
MAZAL TOV & welcome home!!
Ahuva
Mazel tov! Your arrival seemed so great. All the blessings for your new life in Eretz!!!
I hope one of these days I’ll be able to follow your steps of all of you Olim!
Who performs that amazing music, the English version of mah nishtana? I want to get it.
This video was so beautiful and special, I was moved to tears.
Jamie! That was soooo beautiful! This video made me feel like I was moving along with u guys to israel! It moved to tears. When you and your daughters cried that really made me cry. Hashem should benth you and your family with happiness and may it be an easy and smooth settling down in eretz yisrael.
Mazel tov! So beautiful!
