Laura Ben-Davidmade Aliyah to
Israel from Boca Raton, Florida. Israelis ask her all the time, 'Why
would you leave Boca Raton to move to Israel?" Laura simply explains
that she did not move to escape from the beauty of Boca Raton. She made Aliyah
to enhance her life, and the lives of her husband and family, by living in the
Promised Land, the Land of Israel, the only place that she can ever really
'belong'. When the Ben-David family made Aliyah they weren't 'leaving'. The were
arriving.
Known as Laura Welch
before her aliyah (and way, way back, as Laura Ginsberg), the family adopted the
name "Ben-David" as it is a lot easier to spell in Hebrew than "Welch"! They did
not know that this was the name of an illustrious Sephardi family in Jerusalem.
Laura continues
to write as often as she can, though she is currently very involved in the
promotion of her new book, MOVING UP: An Aliyah Journal.
