Singer Family Aliya: July 2011
http://singerfamilyaliyah.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. Emily's Devar Torah at Netivot Shalom, Baltimore. D’var Torah: Parashat Massei 2011. I don’t understand spectator sports. Well, I do and I don’t. Perhaps I understand them a little better in light of this week’s parasha and my preparations for this dvar Torah. Did I help them train? Did I bring them gatorade? We hadn’t even purchased our own tickets! But it felt great to be a part of it. Was my excitement because now that I lived in Vancouver I considered myself a Vancouverite?

Singer Family Aliya: March 2012
http://singerfamilyaliyah.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. Teaching a nuanced love for Israel or a simple trip to buy Tefilin ain't so simple. While perhaps a little to far from peshat (the straightforward meaning), I certainly appreciated the sentiment of searching out a deep significance for this new Mitzvah that Shmuel is on the cusp of taking on. All in all it was worth the long drive the extended presentation. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. Our 15 minutes of Israeli Fame! View my complete profile.

Singer Family Aliya: May 2012
http://singerfamilyaliyah.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Bounce, Bing and Boing. When the little miracles were born, they were so small and shrivelly looking that we feared the worst. I contemplated calling in an expert, but I had heard that when people touch a nest, it makes the mom refuse to return, so we just waited and watched. Meanwhile, we optimistically named them Bing and Boing. Sunday, May 6, 2012. Bringing some of the "old country" into the new one. Did we need to bring things from America to make his bar mitzvah special? I am g...

Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Did I mention that Ross went to America two days after my mom arrived? He got back this morning. (Yay! And in more good news, he came bearing this new macbook I am typing on (can you tell? And it was recess time, and all his friends were outside playing! Everyone was so excited to see him! In other news, Beni (the radio guy- remember him? Hmmm Well, the water is back on all the pools at Sachne! After the ceremony, people went up to the synagogue for a festive Hallel prayer, compl...

Singer Family Aliya: Bringing some of the "old country" into the new one
http://singerfamilyaliyah.blogspot.com/2012/05/there-was-some-back-and-forth-on-aliya.html
Sunday, May 6, 2012. Bringing some of the "old country" into the new one. There was some back and forth on an Aliya listserve about how appropriate it is to complain about the challenges of Aliya. Some felt that Olim need to give up their connections to their previous homes outside of ISrael and accept their new reality. In response Emily wrote the following that resonated for many people who thanked her for writing it. Did we need to bring things from America to make his bar mitzvah special? Our 15 minu...

Singer Family Aliya: August 2011
http://singerfamilyaliyah.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. Singer Family Vacation Continued. So explain to me how it happened that we thought that two overnight flights, with a 13 hour stop over in Amsterdam in between, with FOUR kids, seemed like a really cool idea. Though I have to say, in the end, I am not sorry we did it. That's why we fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants-ers never change. His face went serious and he replied, "No." We told him we were headed to the Anne Frank House, and he said, "Good luck! What did he mean by "Good luck?
