I’m partial to art that stirs my very soul. Now that the house is finally done, I’m filling these white (ok, cream) walls with beautifully spiritual Judaic art. These soulful pieces really make our house a home!I’ve found 3 special pieces (I’m running out of wall!) nestled in the beating heart of Meah Shearim, a bustling neighborhood in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Gallery has a selection of STUNNING art, which made it just a bit hard to choose.

One of my favorite things about living in Israel is that on a whim, you can pick up and go to a kosher, shabbat observant hotel and have the most relaxing, spiritually fulfilling, pampering shabbos. If that’s not reason alone to make aliyah then…Look there are perks to everything in life but this perk feels much more like a luxury. Especially if you decide to go to the Ritz Carlton Herzliya.

On the first day in my new role as the chief communications officer and global spokesperson for Aish, I was invited to speak to the Knesset’s Immigration, Absorption and Foreign Affairs Committee about what is being done, and what can be done, to combat antisemitism in the world. What I spoke about, are the questions that echo through synagogues, community centers and Jewish homes worldwide in the aftermath of the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

I’m living my dream life. I say that with a huge exhale. My shoulders drop. I’m smiling. Relaxed. At peace. Yes, I’m living in a war zone. But that is temporary. Our homeland, that’s forever. Home. THANK YOU HASHEM!!!This dream life was longed for by generation after generation for over two thousand years. I often think about how proud my dear grandparents, all Holocaust survivors, would be of my current life. How surreal it is to be realizing their dream. But my road home wasn’t direct.

Hanukkah is a holiday rich with light, flavor, and tradition. It’s a time when we gather around the menorah to recount the miracles of the past while creating modern memories with loved ones. The flickering candles remind us of resilience and faith, while the aromas of fried delights and festive meals bring warmth to our homes. Beyond the latkes and sufganiyot, Hanukkah is steeped in meaningful customs and rituals that connect us to Jewish history and heritage.
