Currently Reading O Jerusalem by Larry Collins, Dominique Lapierre

A must read! I think this is my fourth time reading it, each time I end up staying up into the wee hours of the next day to finish it. It is non-fiction and excellent, at least I think it is.

Yesterday Magoo (our adorable bundle of three year old energy) told me three times "Mommy you phone Air Canada and get us on airplane to Israel" and then at bedtime after prayers he proceeded to tell me all the things that we would need to pack when we go to our "Jerusalem home" when the "Big huge Temple" would be built and that he would help "make the wall Big and huge"

Brought tears to my eyes and lifted my heart.

Well I've decided to start up again on this. I am Buying this book! you can order it on Amazon and read a review on Arutz Sheva (www.israelnn.com)

“Movin’ On Up” By Yocheved Miriam RussoDecember 31st, 2006
As appeared in the Jerusalem Post, Metro Magazine, December 29, 2006
No one makes aliyah without thinking at least once, “I ought to write a book!” Well, Laura Ben-David just did it. Ben-David’s book about her family’s 2002 aliyah experience, “Moving Up: An Aliyah Journal“, came out on December 13th. But during the long months she spent writing and rewriting, her working title was “You Can’t Make this Stuff Up”. “It’s all true,” she says, laughing. “Lots of authors start with a legal disclaimer — ‘this book is fiction, the product of the author’s imagination’. I did exactly the opposite. Every single thing in this book really happened. I couldn’t possibly have made any of it up.”
