Today is exactly 17 years since I came on aliya with my family. While I do sometimes despair at the various goings-on here, I have never regretted making the move.
I've documented many aspects of Israeli life in columns that I wrote for the JC and Jewish News. More recently, I've been making films about Israel with my colleague and fellow former Brit, Sally Halon.
To mark the aliya anniversary, here's the link to one of the most recent: a heartwarming story about a 5-year-old Siberian boy with CP who came specially to Alyn Hospital in Jerusalem in order to receive the best rehabilitation possible.
