WATCH NOW: With gratitude to Hashem and to my partners 12 Tribe Films and Nefesh B’Nefesh I present to you the premiere episode of Joy of Israel with Jamie Geller, the highly anticipated food and travel series and sequel to the Joy of Aliyah documentary. Because you asked for it and because we heard you, this first episode will show you a slice of every day life, a part of Israel that doesn’t get much press and a dish that’s a far cry from falafel and hummus… Poyke! (Although hubby calls it Hokee Pokee!) “What is Poyke?” you ask, just watch and learn. And by the way, for the record my kids were NOT unbuckled and standing while I was driving, I was parked at the time, that I would NEVER allow :-).
Join me and my family as our aliyah adventure continues. The Joy of Israel with Jamie Geller is my new food and travel show and will follow our adventures as new Olim. Together with you, we will explore the wonderful land of Israel, the place we now call home.

Just returned to USA from milking cows in upper Golan & all you say is great. What a country. Making Alyiah soon With Hashem’s help
As fun, informative, and charming as Jamie’s Joy of Kosher Cooking. Kol ha’kavod from Mitzpe Ramon!passengers
Love anything about Israel! Thnaks for sharing!
So inspiring as always! Sounded like an awesome birthday for you daughter and a great day for your family!
Great first video.We live in Dallas,Texas.Hope to someday visit your beautiful country.Especially the cowboy connection to Texas.
jamie, i loved this episode. I can’t wait to see more.
ps. i love that you use itranslate, I was totally thinking you were going to whip out a dictionary, lol
What a big Mitzvah you have. Watching this video, I am reminded how much Hakaras HaTov that I have to Hashem that I live in Israel almost 37 years. I remember taking an Egged tour of the Golan almost 40 years ago and seeing that same view across the border.
May you and your family have many happy and healthy years in Eretz Yisroel.
Thank you for continuing your Joy of Israel series so that we can all catch a glimpse into your life and journey in the Holy Land. It’s inspiring and amazing!
This is the cutest thing ever! Looks like to much fun!
Hi Jaime…this was a wonderful and delightful video! Thank you so much for sharing your Family,yummy recipie and your journey to Israel! I’m looking forward to your monthly video. May Hashem bless you and your beautiful family.
Looking forward to next month.
I can not wait to see next months.

Looked like so much fun! We call that Poytjie in South Africa. Pronounced Poykey Poy (as in boy) and tjie (as in key). Then while eating, everybody sits and discusses the different ingredients they use!! Lamb is also great with a hint of curry powder.
JUST ADORE FOLLOWING YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY, JAMIE…WHETHER IT IS FOOD OR THE TRAVELING YOU ARE DOING….IT IS ALL SUCH FUN AND SO AMAZING…ALWAYS WATCHING…KOL TOV…DOROTHY

I can never thank you enough for sharing Israel with us. I may never see Israel, so seeing it through yours and your family’s eyes is wonderful for me.
What fun to share your family’s adventures! Keep ’em coming!

Its just amaizing how your enjoying your stay for good. Enjoy!!!!!
Okay, sooooo much to say! You are Israeli now!!! First of all, love your comment about the unbuckling 🙂 You are hilarious and we know you would never drive while your kids are unbuckled. I love that you are doing something special each month. What a wonderful idea. I love this video and I can’t wait to watch them monthly.
I LOVE THIS!
Love this video-what a great idea! It could be a great tourism ministry advertisement for our wonderful country. Yasher Koach. I might try the recipe today for Shabbos.
This video is amazing- it made me cry just like the joy of aliyah videos. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 🙂
