Another Anniversary Coming Up

Yes, it is almost that time. No, not my wedding anniversary. No, not my aliyah anniversary. Have you guessed yet?

You are right! November 21st (which is Rosh Chodesh Kislev this year) will mark one year of blogging. To celebrate, I decided to put out a call for posts - this time about "only in Israel stories". Everyone who has either lived, studied, or taken a tour in Israel probably has at least one story - so send them to me! They don't need to be unbelievably moving (although those are of course welcome!). They can be little things that make you smile and happy to either live here, or make you wish you did.

Deadline is November 19th. Please send them to: westbankmama@fastmail.fm.
