Why Is Vasseira Here?: March 2010
http://yonivasseira.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. A New Temporary Shelter. We have officially found ourselves a new home, and that is Congregation Shema Yisrael. After the insanity of the past week or so, we do have this bright point in our spectrum. It is a multi-denominational shul, so I guess in English what that means is that we have a home that is much like Abraham Aveinu's tent, open on all sides. That I honestly believe Hashem will make flourish. Yes, we are still making aliyah. Since...

Why Is Vasseira Here?: The Skinny (as it were) - Who We Are
http://yonivasseira.blogspot.com/2010/02/skinny-as-it-were.html
Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. The Skinny (as it were) - Who We Are. I have had the good fortune of making new friends on Facebook. However, perhaps it would be a good idea to properly define who I am and where I am going with all of this. My wife has her own blog, with her own viewpoints, that you can find here. So I will let her tell you her side of the story. I'll have to look. ed. It was actually June 6th, 1994. I was in Manhattan when the Rebbe was in the hospital....

Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. The Future of TV. During a recent bad experience with Comcast. Here in the States, my wife and I came across a dilemma that we know we will soon face in Israel. And that is the world of TV. We are both hockey. Fans, and we ordered the NHL Center Ice. This led to us being without service for two days as we tried to find a representative that could intelligently talk about our account and the plan that we had purchased and paid for. We know tha...

Why Is Vasseira Here?: January 2010
http://yonivasseira.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. Why the hell do you want to go THERE? Today is Tu B'Shevat. Basically, it's the Jewish Arbor Day, for lack of a better description. I guess that means everything is about the celebration of new stuff. In our case, it's the beginning of what might possibly be the most indirect permanent vacation ever. To make it short, we are planning our Aliyah. So now when those occasional pesky mamzerim. When the time is right. I'll leave this place tonight.

Why Is Vasseira Here?: Water, Water Everywhere...
http://yonivasseira.blogspot.com/2010/02/water-water-everywhere.html
Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. Water, Water Everywhere. So my lovely wife and I read one of Maya's posts. Over at How to Be Israeli about washing dishes "Israeli-style", primarily due to the water shortage there. We thought, "How nice. How ecologically friendly. How delightfully, wonderfully responsible and sound! We both gasped at that realization. Addressing the water issue, we bought a PuR water filtration pitcher and a much larger spigoted container. Before, there ...

Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. Nefesh B'Nefesh, Swing and a Miss. So, we had our first meeting with our friendly Nefesh B'Nefesh representative. When we got to the shul where the meetings were being held, we had to call a number in order to gain entrance, and finally found the room in which the interviews were being held. But before I go any further, I have a story. For you in order to properly set the stage for our experience:. The shammash (caretaker) of the shul arrived...

Why Is Vasseira Here?: On The Diving Board
http://yonivasseira.blogspot.com/2010/02/on-diving-board.html
Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. On The Diving Board. First off, to answer a question:. What is the voltage in Israel. Voltage: 230 V; Plugs H and C. You will need a voltage converter, and plug adapter in order to use U.S. appliances. We recommend getting a universal adapter and converter kit. So that's one question off of the list. We have our first meeting with Nefesh B'Nefesh. Tomorrow morning at 10am. Sure, I'm a bit apprehensive, who wouldn't be? Thing I have started wo...

Why Is Vasseira Here?: Wherever Shall We Go?
http://yonivasseira.blogspot.com/2010/02/wherever-shall-we-go.html
Why Is Vasseira Here? A family preparing for Aliyah to Israel. Wherever Shall We Go? At the moment, all that we know is that we are moving to Israel. Now comes the question. Where are we going? We really don't know. Somewhere around Tel Aviv. Is the hope, as while we at least attempt to be Orthodox, I work in the technology sector, and our outside viewpoints run liberal to secular. For example, part of the draw to come home is the ability to pray Shacharit. But given how far we are from kosher meat, time...
