On Monday, August 24, the Shron family celebrated our three-year Aliyah-versary.
It just so happens that on the very same day, my daughter got married. She is our second child to tie the knot, but our first wedding in Israel.
I have so much to say about our relatively new life here in Israel. Three years later, it can still be challenging, frustrating, and sometimes downright maddening.
But at the same time, we are so, so grateful to be here. The friends we’ve made, the family we are privileged to enjoy, the milestones we’ve celebrated, the experiences we’ve had…all combine to create a very special new life for each member of our family.
It all came together Monday night. Surrounded by some of our most favorite people on the planet, at a breathtaking venue in Hadera, we had the incredible privilege of witnessing our children get married. As I stood with them under the chuppah, the significance of the moment was not lost on me.
Here we were, on the third anniversary of one of the biggest events of our lives, witnessing ANOTHER of the biggest events of our lives – under a moonlit sky in our homeland. And the icing on the cake? I was honored to sing the prayer for the IDF under the chuppah…giving thanks to the men and women who sacrifice so much each day, to ensure that the event could take place without a hitch.
We are so honored to take an active role in Jewish history.
We are so fortunate to have all of our children, our granddaughter, my parents, my sister and her family all living nearby.
We are so grateful to watch our family grow and flourish.
We loved living in New Jersey. But today, surrounded by family and new friends, we are so proud to have made the choice to make Aliyah, three years ago.
