How did we stay in contact for that long under those circumstances (I'm not talkin' about the internet or AOL)? that's all of the above: her ambition, her wit, her intellect. As an Israeli, I can say that my country is very lucky to have her. I wish you good lucky in your settling (hitmasdut), and may you cross this bureaucracy-ocean (although Israel has barely 2 rivers) be-mehirut. you know you've got your local help whenever you need it :) David I’ve known Danielle for about 7 years, but our first face-to-face meet was less than 2 years ago.

He was born in Israel, but when he was 5 his parents moved away. Niether of my grandparents were Betar either. My grandother was a nurse in Palmach and my grandfather was a chemist. So how's that for my family history in a nutshell? ;-) oh, to answer Yisrael Medad’s question.. my father is not that old. He was born in Israel, but when he was 5 his parents moved away.

So from my name you can probably tell, this blog is about me. I think its rather incredible that so many people are reading it. Not that I had any doubts, ck, but still. So I've been in Israel for about 9 days now. It's been quite an experience. You meet wonderfully friendly people, as well as those who try to convince you you've made a mistake and to go home. Israel is so beautiful. Tel Aviv has such a life to it. I've been here before, but its different knowing that whenever I leave in the future, it will be on vacation, and that this is where I live. I went to Jerusalem as well. Did you know that there's actually quite a hip night life there? I didn't. Also, you encounter situations such as: you can't open a good bank account without a "teudat student" (a certificate of studentry). However, a University will not give an "oleh" one of those wihtout an open "tik" (file) at the "Mihal HaStudentim" (Student Authority). They, in turn, will not open a "tik" for you if you do not have a "cheshbon bank" (bank account). So, in truth, my move to Israel has begun with quite a bit of hassle, bureaucracy, and a bit of negotiations. But I think it will all be worth it in the end. Especially with ck trying to pimp me out. lol! Last, I should probably put in a plug for Nefesh B'Nefesh. They're really wonderful in helping you witht he whole Aliyah process; even once you're in the country. I've called them a few times already, and they're fantastic! Hoping you all are well! Kisses! --Danielle Hey there. So from my name you can probably tell, this blog is about me. I think its rather incredible that so many people are reading it.

I randomly ran into her twice in the last 2 days. TOTALLY randomly! Now we've exchanged numbers and she crashed at my place last night (don't worry, I was in another city). So, to paraphrase Herzl, if you will it, it is not a dream... also I am pretty sure she monitors this article. Tell us a bit more about yourself (like Michael did above) and if Danielle is intrigued I will pass on your email address to her. We're happy to facilitate love! Dude.

Danielle sounds good because she is an amazing individual with unlimited passion and intellect. She is following her dreams and doing what she knows in her heart, soul and mind to be the right thing and Israel is lucky to have her as an Olah Chadasha. (CK forgot to mention that Danielle has a younger sister who has been incredibly supportive of Danielle's decision and is likewise bonded to Israel through the Nivcheret (U-17, U-19) and otherwise.) Danielle, we all love you and are proud of you! We will miss you, but wish you all the best the world has to offer you!
