Tons of Pics

Hi Everyone,

Hope that you are all well. We've had a busy week. It was Gavi's upsherin (hair cutting party) yesterday, which really was so amazing. More on that to follow. I am really behind in posting pics so I'm going to keep my words on the short side and let my pictures do the talking.

We had an amazing visit with the Gelkopfs (half of them that is)! Marvin (my brother in law) and Marni my niece were both on March of the Living and they were able to stay a few extra days to hang out with us. My sister Carrie came a few days before their trip ended to spend some extra time here. We had a great time hanging out on Ben Yehuda, swimming in their hotel pool, having shabbos together, and of course eating falafel and halva ice cream (yummmmm). Check out the great pics below - thank you Marni.

Miss you all!

with love,

Rachel & Co.

It's Been Way Too Long...

Dear family and friends, I hope that you are all well. It has been ages since I updated the blog. I don't think this even qualifies as a blog anymore, but I thought it would be nice to put up another post before our summer visit. I'm sorry that I have been so irregular with my posts this year. I found life to be really hectic trying to manage a job, the kids and the house. So, the blog fell to the bottom of my to do list. What's new with us? I recently finished my first year of teaching! It was a great experience, but it definitely kept me busy. I really enjoyed the work and got some great feedback from my students and the principal. I am hoping to teach some of the same classes again in the future and hopefully this will cut down on my workload. Joel is doing great and has started to learn at The Mir yeshiva in the mornings. It is probably the biggest yeshiva in the world. He learns alongside 1,000 other students - pretty intense. He is really enjoying the cha

UPDATE

Welcome to my blog! I'm pretty excited about it! I've decided to try out the blog thing as a way of keeping in touch with our family and friends around the world, while we are living in Yerushalayim. Hopefully, I will update it weekly with pics and updates from the week. So here's a quick sumup of the last month.... After bouncing around from one short term rental to another we found an apartment that we are really happy with. Funny enough it's in the same building as last year, it's a little smaller, but much more modern (no peeling walls and stained carpets!) and much better laid out. We LOVE the neighbourhood and slowly the apt is starting to feel more like home. Friends from the neighbourhood have been super generous/helpful and we've been invited out for almost every shabbos meal so far! The boys are doing great! Gavi is speaking a mile a minute and is a character as always. I am still searching for a gan (daycare) for him, but hopefully somethin

Pesach Break

Hi Again, Hope that you had a wonderful holiday. Ours was really nice. We were invited out for most of the yom tov meals, which was really great. We were in Bayit Vegan at our friend Josie's place for the seder (yes only one!) and then spent the last day of yom tov at my cousin's peaceful home in the Shomron. The rest of our Pesach was spent eating matza, cheese, and yogurt, hanging out in parks, bbqing at gan sacher, and seeing live music. The kids particularly loved the music festival in the Old City. Check out the videos of them enjoying below. We are all doing great and loving the summer weather! Joel is still off so we are trying to go on a few outings before he returns to yeshiva. Stay tuned! Miss you all and looking forward to our visit to TO in August! Lots of love, Rachel & Co. Our blond surfer boy The boys love eating together at their kids table. Koby insists on eating his yogurt by himself! More park fun! I love this pic of Gav Grabbing some dinner at
