NBN is running a “This is My Israel” photo contest, but for my son, this video perfectly demonstrates why he’s so happy to be living here.
This video is of the birthday reception he received from his classmates recently, which paled in comparison to the “welcome home” he received on the first day of school. Continue reading “This is MY Israel!”

Location could be the key to a successful Aliyah for some people.
I’m a Writer by profession and Researcher by nature so I may have gone a bit overboard during our pre-Aliyah investigations, but I believe all that work paid off in helping us pin down the perfect place for our family to settle in Israel.
How does one go about researching communities in Israel while living in another country (especially if you don’t have family or friends living there)? I’m sure there are multiple options in answer to that question, but for now I’ll share with you my method – draw as much information from the Internet as possible and NETWORK with the people in your target communities.

About a year ago I contacted DogSense in Hod HaSharon about adopting one of their K-9 security dogs when they were ready to be retired (usually at around 7 or 8 years old). This was after our Ra’anana apartment had been broken into and robbed.
For those of you who don’t already know, we owned Shalom Kennels in Hermitage, TN before moving to Cleveland in 2004. We bred and trained German Shepherd Dogs in Schutzhund and for police service. Our last girl – Bonni vom Wilknitzkoff, a gorgeous sable GSD that we imported from Germany – was sold to Saffore Kennels in 2005 due to some circumstances that were beyond our control at the time and we have sorely missed having canine companionship and protection since then.
Fast forward 6 years and we are now living in the “West Bank” of Israel and I felt the time was right for Yisrael to learn how to handle a working dog. Continue reading “Max: Security Service K-9”
