Photo Journey of our Aliyah

Enjoy a sampling of the photos taken by Mike Stocker, Photojournalist for the Sun-Sentinel of South Florida, as he and Journalist Tim Collie chronicled our great Aliyah Adventure. Photos were taken in Boca Raton, New York at JFK airport, on the El Al flight to Israel (somewhere over the Atlantic...), on arrival at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, and in our new hometown, Neve Daniel in Gush Etzion, Israel.
