So right after we got back from our amazing surprise trip to Atlanta, we had only 30 hours until our departure to White Oak, PA where my bud, Nachum and his family, lives. This was not a spontaneous trip like the one to Atlanta, but had been planned in advance along with Nachums brother, Shabsy.
What [...]
Sorry we haven’t posted in a while but we’ve been so very BUSY. Alright, I’ll start with the Atlanta trip and Adiel will continue with Shavuous.
The story is like this: we have some old family friends from the LES that moved to Atlanta. Our families were very close and Adiel and I also spent a [...]
A lot has happened in the last few days, but the big thing I want to post is a video where Esther and I surprised my mom on a visit to Atlanta this weekend.

“Don’t count the days, make the days count”.
That means living each day to the fullest. Finding [...]
From what I’ve always learned, you can’t get to the next lesson in life until you’ve learned the current lesson. Some people stay stuck in a rut for a long period of time because they just don’t get it. They haven’t discovered a new solution to a known issue that they live with. I speak [...]

In other news, Shabbos was great with my Kallah friend Rena who is getting married in 6 weeks!! We shmoozed a lot, ate out by my second cousins (Naomi and [...]
It doesn’t really get any easier. Maybe less emotoinal, but still so hard. There is a heavy pain in the room, and a bittersweet air as you greet guests who you are happy to see, but sad to have an occasion to see. And then, when they begin speeches about Abba in the past, that’s [...]
