Res Gestae: September 2011
http://israelmetamorphoses.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
An Aliyah Journey- from California to Israel. Wednesday, September 14, 2011. How big is too big? When I got pregnant with my first daughter, my husband and I decided that it was time to start saving for a house of our own. Neither of us felt/feel comfortable taking out a large mortgage, so we really wanted to put as much of a down payment as possible. But how will you clean it? I guess the sand does make it harder. So I am still debating. How big is too big? How small is too small? My grandmother could t...

Res Gestae: May 2010
http://israelmetamorphoses.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
An Aliyah Journey- from California to Israel. Monday, May 31, 2010. It has been a peaceful couple months here. but that never lasts for long. Todays incident has brought a lot of fear and anger back into Israelis. it was for something a lot less serious than this that the last intifada was started. Sunday, May 9, 2010. Thats not to say, of course, that I NEVER appreciated my mother. I just didnt really understand her. How can a child ever truly understand what a parent goes through? Sunday, May 2, 2010.

Res Gestae: November 2012
http://israelmetamorphoses.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
An Aliyah Journey- from California to Israel. Monday, November 19, 2012. It has been a long time since Ive written. The whole point of this blog was to chart the aliyah process, the differences between the US and Israel and how they have effected me. I guess after 3 years here, the new and shocking doesnt seem so interesting to write about anymore. Why am I putting my girls through this? I dont know what the future holds for us, or how long we may stay here in Israel, or if we will move back to the state...

http://israelmetamorphoses.blogspot.com/2010/09/after-long-break-i-decided-to-head-back.html
An Aliyah Journey- from California to Israel. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. After a long break, I decided to head back to Ulpan. I am heading to ashdod this time, since it is the closest city that has a real ulpan past the first level. Its an interesting change, since many of the immigrants in Ashdod as French, and it creates a very different atmosphere from the totally Russian class I had here in KG. In other news. it is holiday season here! September 9, 2010 at 4:38 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Res Gestae: November 2009
http://israelmetamorphoses.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
An Aliyah Journey- from California to Israel. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Holidays can be tough, because I miss my family and I want to celebrate just as I did growing up. It was even hard doing the shopping for Thanksgiving because I felt so alone. No one around me was shopping for Thanksgiving, or even knew what it was. I guess I am starting a new tradition here, but it can be hard. As is traditional, I guess I should end with the things I am thankful for (B"H). I am thankful for:. The pre-school seem...

Res Gestae: Cheating
http://israelmetamorphoses.blogspot.com/2012/12/cheating.html
An Aliyah Journey- from California to Israel. Wednesday, December 5, 2012. All is quiet on the home front, as least when it comes to rockets and warfare. I guess that means its time to turn my attention to other aspects of living in Israel. I am still a little shocked by this attitude. Is this a student to student thing, an Israeli/American divide, or do most people cheat and I just have too strict of a moral leash? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

An Aliyah Journey- from California to Israel. Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Even though its the holiday season here in Israel, Ive been attending ulpan a couple times a week. Its been more laid back, because of the constant holidays, but I love being back in the classroom, even if its as a student. this last week has definitely been full of a couple "only in israel" moments.

One of my husbands neighbors also passed away on Thursday. we spent shabbat in a sad sort of mood, and I am thankful for all the blessings I have.
