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. For Yisrael, the best part of being here is the people – great friends in a religious environment 😀
Here are a few of my favorite photos that define Israel for me but don’t quite meet the NBN rules (i.e., no one is in them holding the sign) because they were taken pre-contest.
Michael and Yisrael playing in the Mediterranean near Haifa as the sun is setting
Sukkot in Meah Shearim
Marketplace shopping for Etrog & Lulav
Our Beautiful Sukkahs with Incredible views of Jerusalem, Ma’ale Adumim and the Judean Hills
(note: this photo was taken as we were dismantling the sukkah – no schach)
Sukkahs at every Kosher restaurant!
Figured out which is my favorite holiday yet?
