Being Replanted

Dean & Chaim

We did get to the Kinneret, but we did not make it to the boat… High waves and wet winds stopped the sailing…instead - we had a party!

It was the grand opening of Aliyah Return Center in Tiberias, Israel. Last night we gathered in a tourist center where the story of Return Ministry was told and where we met many of our Canadian friends whom we did not see for a while. It was a crowd from many nations, and included young and old, all enjoying the party.

Return Ministry in Canada have been instrumental in helping us to get replanted in Israel. They encouraged us, prayed for us, arranged talks abroad for us, and just loved us back into Israel.  The Aliyah Return Center is the Israeli extension of the Canadian center in Eastern Canada. They invited us to be there last night, and we are glad that we went.

The center hosts volunteers from the nations who get an opportunity to help the New Olim (Jews who are coming back to Israel from the diaspora).  One floor is dedicated for the volunteers and the family who run the center, it includes an area for comfortable seating of friends; another floor hosts Bed and Breakfast rooms, including the breakfast area.

Room #1

We stayed in one of these rooms last night.

70th + 71st Days of Praising God,

We are thankful for His goodness to us and replanting us in Israel; for the people that He brought into our lives to encourage us and to pray for us, and for the friends that continue to be a loving bridge to the Jews who are yet to return home to Israel.

Hugging the cat,
