Another Inspired Soul Making The Move To Israel
I ran across a great forum posting this morning over here that really made me smile. Basically, it’s from someone in Australia who is making Aliyah. On the surface it doesn’t sound all that incredible. What seems to be a single, Jewish male coming to Israel and giving it a shot. Just an “ordinary” story.
However, to me there are no ordinary Aliyah stories. As I wrote in my previous post, every move to Israel requires bravery, determination and alot of inner belief. I think the author of the post puts it best:
”See, I’m backing up my rhetoric with action!…..I love Australia dearly, probably more than than most of my friends and certainly don’t take my unbelievably fortunate life for granted, but I suppose I’m just looking for a greater a sense of purpose and a good adventure…..Actually, you know its more than that, for more than 2000 years, my ancestors have been praying and yearning for an opportunity to return to the land of Israel, and now I have it and so in a way, I have a responsibility to go….”
Just a very inspiring story.
I have posted on this gentleman’s forum and will try to get more information and as soon as I do I will share it here.
News of an incoming Olim is always fantastic so please let us know any stories about you or people you know who have made Aliyah or are thinking about doing it and let us know what it is that inspired you.
