Travel Logs

Aliza and I have had our share of travels around the world. This is our passion. We travel for adventure, nature, culture and study. We have been by last count to some 62 countries around the world on all 7 continents and including Antarctica and the North Pole. On few occasions we actually lived abroad for a longer period of time. Paris in 2007 for 6 months when Aliza studied culinary and patisary at the famous Le Cordon Bleu; Tel-Aviv for 10 months in 2011 when both of us studied for a full academic year at Tel-Aviv University and in 2016 when we spent 3 months in Malaga Spain where we studied Spanish and enjoyed the European charm we love so much and of course the perfectly warm climate. In most of our travels I write a travel log in real time mostly to remeber the feelings and impressions as they occur and also to share our experiences with our children and grandchildren at home. Wherever on the map that you see a pin click if you are interested in travelling there with us.

Zohar Blessing

ברכה לזהר

הרוח היא נושבת עצים הם בשלכת

הסתו הגיע ועמו את מתבגרת

עשור שנים עברו מאז כתבתי לך השיר

והנה את בת מצוה ועתידך עשיר

יפה ואצילה לקראתו הנך צועדת

בחיוך מקרין בשובבות עינים מענינת

ואנו שזכינו לראותך פורחת לתפארת

מאחלים לך ברכת זהר נהדרת

יברכך אלוהים וישמרך

וימלא את לבך באהבה ובשמחה

באושר ובתבונה

כי בת ישראל הנך היום ולנו הגאוה

 

A Blessing for Zohar

The wind is blowing the leaves are falling

Autumn has arrived, and you are growing

A decade passed since I wrote you a poem

Now you are a Bat Mitzvah with future bright

Beautiful and regal toward it do you march

With a bright smile and mischievous gaze

We the fortunate who saw you bloom and blossom

Wish you and bestow upon you the Zohar blessing

“May the Lord bless you and guard you and, may

He fill your heart with Love and Happiness, Joy and Wisdom

from now and forever as of today you are

A daughter of the people Israel and

our pride and joy”

Amen
