Moving to Israel

Another milestone in Israel’s amazing history has come and gone as Tel Aviv’s 100th anniversary officially came to a close Saturday night. A major water and fireworks show took place, with tens of thousands on the shore watching and enjoying themselves in the unseasonably warm weather.

When I moved to Israel almost a decade and a half ago it was events like these that always helped to inspire me. Imagine, a tiny country surrounded by mortal enemies whose greatest wish is to drive the little country into the sea, and yet here we are, all these years later, with thousands celebrating such a historic event as the terrorists can only watch and wonder.

Happy birthday Tel Aviv and congratulations to Israel for once again defying all the odds and marching forward.
