Kumah leaders meeting

י״ח בסיון ה׳תשס״ב (Wednesday 29 May 2002)

Last night I attended a meeting of the Kumah board, discussing the directions in which we want the movement to move – as Ezra and Miriam are making Aliyah, Yishai and Melissa are getting married, and everything is dying down in New York for the summer. We came up with some great ideas and I’m [...]

Another small accomplishment

י״ז בסיון ה׳תשס״ב (Tuesday 28 May 2002)

I spoke with Na’amah at the Israel Aliyah Center and she told me about an introductory meeting on Wednesday 5 June, at 6:30 pm, at the Aliyah Center. This is not a private discussion between a Shaliach and me. It’s probably going to be the sort of thing where several people come and sit in [...]

Call back from the Aliyah Center

י״ז בסיון ה׳תשס״ב (Tuesday 28 May 2002)

While I was running errands this morning, the Aliyah Center returned my call and left a message for me, inviting me to call back and schedule a meeting with an Aliyah Shaliach. Yay!

Annie & Jason

ט״ז בסיון ה׳תשס״ב (Monday 27 May 2002)

I just returned from the beautiful wedding of Annie Kadosh and Jason Orenstein, in Brooklyn (hopefully someone will post pictures soon at onlysimchas.com). The experience was all-around incredible – not only because they’re the first of my friends to get married – but because they’re making Aliyah this winter and building their life together in [...]

An awkward call

י״ד בסיון ה׳תשס״ב (Saturday 25 May 2002)

I have to admit, I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to make that phone call, and what the conversation would be like. It’s so surreal – here I am, going about my life in New York, looking for a summer job and preparing for my last semester of college, reading, watching movies and [...]

Leaving messages at the Aliyah Center

י״ג בסיון ה׳תשס״ב (Friday 24 May 2002)

I just called the Israel Aliyah Center, at 212-339-6063, and left a message, requesting to meet with a Shaliach (or whoever is supposed to meet with me) to plan my Aliyah. Hopefully they’ll get back to me soon, so I can start the process. To clarify: the Jewish Agency For Israel is a quasi-governmental organization [...]
