Aliyah Dedication Sale - In memory of Stella Frankl A"H.

Instead of selling our used items before our Aliyah to make a bit of money for our move, we decided that we will donate all proceeds. Stella Frankl, Tzuria Kochevet bat Avraham v’Sarah A”H was an amazing woman who made Aliyah to Neve Daniel with her family several years ago, and quickly became a cheerful and inspiring presence in the community. She was subsequently diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer and went through a 2.5 year battle. Throughout her fight, she never lost her spirit and her passion, and she, along with her husband, Yarden, inspired many people from across Israel and the world, dubbed “Stella’s Army” to increase prayer, chesed, and tzedakah, The community of Neve Daniel, where we will be moving to, was heavily involved in supporting the family throughout Stella’s illness, and we are insprired by their dedication and love. Neve Daniel is dedicating a memorial to Stella, and we would like to begin our Aliyah by linking it to the Aliyah of her Neshama to bring comfort to her family and community.

Formal nights on the QM2

Elish played hard on the cruise!

Daycare with the nannies was a lot of fun - the room had terrific toys, including a barn with animals that Elish loved.









Elish was so tired one evening that he fell asleep....with a bagel in his mouth!





Wow, Elish looks like such a big boy in his formal outfit! We posed for a lot of portraits.

These Scenic views were taken on St. Lucia.












Here, you can see the arch over the water - this was used in scenes in the film "The Pirates of the Carribean: The Black Pearl"
