It's great to know that you're here and feel a bond to Israel. I also read the article about the isntant coffee... (I never thought we were any different from the US). Some instants are very good. Did you try "Jacobs"? It's the best. Anyway, I hope you won't have anymore maulfunctions with your BlackBerry. :) have a good day, Itay Congrats, Scott.

I will follow future updates. I admire your courage and envy your feeling of connectedness.

First of all, nice article. Way to "keep it real". I look forward to your future posts. As an oleh from Canada that has "been here and done that" (moved here 9 years ago at age 24 and, among many other things, is married to a "sabra" and has a little boy), one of my mantras of making aliyah successfully is to "Keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground", if you know what I mean. :) Again, all the best, Gil P.s. The following article has some more worthwhile tips of making your aliyah a success: http://www.canaancommunications.us/10_Tips_to_a_Successful_Aliyah.html Scott,
