Follow me to Israel
Very touching and well done. I cried even though I've never even considered making aliyah.

Wow. Thanks so much for sharing. I cried over this. I can't remember the last time I shed tears over something so simple, yet poignant.

Never even considered? Huh?

Wow.

BTW it was an amazingly exciting (and busy) day!

Very touching.

Wow. That made me cry.

Cry Baby! Cry Baby! Nah nah nah na!

No...going for a little bit of time was an option but not aliyah. Until mashiach comes, hopefully very very soon.

It's so sad that so many Jews feel this way. Maybe mashiach is waiting for them to come first so there are people to greet him?

i always say this and im gonna say it again
Im not there yet,but on jan.28th im leaving
hopefully for good - not a nbn flight and i wont get the same greeting but i dont care
im going to live in eretz yisroel
i wish ppl wud just drop their lives here and bounce
do u think that america is wat judaisim is supposed to be................................

Baby you can bounce like TACT
Yadayim b'shamayim ki af paam lo nimas...

jealousy, homesickness, dagnabbit wish I could convince my wife to move there with me, my parents did the "aliyah thing" 16 years ago, there is no feeling in the world that compares with that touchdown in Ben Gurion, knowing that as a Jew, you are coming home

Even fanatics like Pinchas don't say you should just drop your life and bounce. If you don't do things responsibly you're doomed to failure. (with anything)

The video would have been OK if it weren't for the annoying jingle in the background.

I thought "Probably a nice video, but crying? Pshaw, give me a break"

Well, I cried for most of that video. Today I found myself on my couch, laying down with my eyes closed. I had the sunlight straight into my face and I kept thinking "I can't believe how much I want to make Aliyah. One year and a half to wait, it's going to be so long." Then I just shrug it off. I've been dreaming of living in Yerushalayim since I was a little boy... what's one more year?

Now, seeing that video and seeing these people, a year and a half seems like it's much too long. My soul yearns to dwell in E"Y and I'm really aching now.

I'm jealous. At the present time, it looks like I have at least 2.5 years here left to go!

If it makes you feel better. I truly believe Aliyah is very much a state of mind. That there are people living in Israel that have not made Aliyah and people in Chu"L that already made Aliyah. If you have solid plans to come in 1 or 2 years - you're already home! Still why not come for a visit or two till your actual Aliyah date comes?
