So many reasons to make aliyah!

Finally sent in our aliyah application! Don't have a set date yet, but we know we want to be out of the USA by 12/25/2013. So setting the countdown ticker for then. Since that is 214 days from today, 5/5/13, thought we could blog about the 214 reasons we have for making aliyah! Enjoy.
(Okay the main reason is b/c it is our home, but thought this would be fun.)

Reason 196: Sea of Streimels or is it Streimelech?

Jewish Wedding: Hassidim Ultra Orthodox Jews crowd

Follow the link above to see pictures of the Belz wedding on Wednesday in Yerushalayim!

What an incredible event 25,000 people join in and participate in the marriage of the Belzer Rebbe's son, Rabbi Shalom Rokach. Just look at the enormous Chupah canopy and the sea of Streimels, something we probably will never see here in Baltimore MD. Although, there are a Streimel wearers here in Baltimore but they are few and far between.

Oh how we long to be part of such incredible scenes of Kiddush Hashem.
