The Return

Returning to Israel has propelled and channelled my inner me to be the best person I can be.

Not without its challenges, the return has nourished my family, strengthened ourselves and our bonds with each other, granted us focus and drive, and enlightened our days with cheer and calm.

There is a love and a feeling of deep comfort here that I've only really experienced in another culture, another country. India. Yet perhaps I feel this love simply because I'm a Jewish Australian Olah, married to an Israeli with extensive ties here, have found a most welcoming and hospitable community, made new friends and reconnected with old friends.

I'm so very lucky. Thank you God. Thank you to all of you who have helped me get to this place - I cannot wait to share the rest of our lives together, withstanding the gaps in geography and lifestyles and enjoying this exciting adventure we call life.
