Jerusalem: The White CitySnowman
It's a snow day in Jerusalem today, January 10, 2013. Kids are out in the street and in the parks building snowmen, having snowball fights and making snow angels. Jerusalem is not used to snow and they warned us for the last few days that this would be a big snow storm but who would have believed it. After 3 days of heavy rain and wind and a beautiful night of snow, the streets, treetops and buildings are white. Its mid day now and the sun has come out. There is not a cloud in the sky and the snowmen have started to melt. That's what I love about Jerusalem, a major snow storm in the morning and back to life as usual by the afternoon.

MSnowSchools, attractions and stores will remain closed so enjoy the rest of your day at home.  

Post your favorite snow pictures of your kids in the Jerusalem snow on our Fun In Jerusalem facebook page.

P.S. It started snowing again!!!
Every once in a while you need to stop what you are doing, take a step back and think about who helped you get to where you are. In light of a recent article in a local English paper, I feel that it is the right time for me to express my appreciation (Hakarat Hatov) to Nefesh B Nefesh. It was with the help of NBN that my family was able to break through all of the bureaucracy and plan our aliyah to Israel within 3 months. We came in August 2007 on a NBN flight which was a very moving experience. Even today just watching the videos of their flights arriving makes me emotional.

NBN continued to help us on our road to a smooth klita with workshops, business advice and through the virtual community they have created online through their email group, facebook and twitter. I always knew that if I had a question, I could direct it towards a member of the NBN staff. In fact, I started Fun In Jerusalem without any advertising because people in the NBN community wanted Jerusalem activity information in English and that's how it grew to the tourism website you see today.

ThinkIsraelEveryone has their own story and their own experience but I can say without a doubt that Nefesh B Nefesh and its staff have played an integral role in my successful aliyah.

I look forward to being connected to the organization for many years to come.
