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 184 Show some love for the Chalav!!







 
You have heard of boil in the bag rice, or even the golf idiom "in the bag". Only in Israel do they have Milk in a bag! Just think of all that saved refrigerator space and its Eco friendly too!!


this one is in the bag!
Chalav Tenuva










Reason 185 Are you a smartphone user? Making Aliyah does not mean escaping the smartphone obsession!



 



Just in case you are thinking that you are the only one obsessed with your smart phone, you are very mistaken. A 2013 survey proved that 57% of Israelis have a smart phone, follow link to read article.

Reason 186: Gorgeous Sandy Beaches

We are all craving the beach.  The best we can do without traveling 3 hours is a dirty sand box-by that I mean little pond or polluted river bank that people call a beach.  Yuck!

I remember the first time I went to the separate beach in Ashdod, how the sand was so white and the water was a sparkling turquoise.  I can't wait till we can take them to a real beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
