Off to Israel

We are flying to Israel today and will be there for Pesach. 

This is the first time I will be back since October 7th when Israel was so brutally attacked. We will be flying EL-AL. Which - it seems - is the only airline that can more or less assure us that the flight will not be canceled.  Tried to fly Swissair last Sukkos only to be canceled right before we left. Not doing that again.

I have 2 new Israeli great-grandchildren there that I haven't met yet: Hillel and Michal. That's in addition to the 3 I have already met. Can't wait to see them all  - as well as the rest of my family there.

There will be no new post today (or tomorrow since I will not be landing at Ben Gurion until late in the afternoon). 

Also internet availability will be severely limited while I'm there  so I'm not sure how many posts I will be able to put out. All I can do is try. 

Stay tuned.

In any case, if I don't get the chance to do so before Pesach, I am taking the opportunity now to wish everyone a Chag Kosher V'Sameach.
