I have moved all the way from a shtetl called Pinsk in Poland. Finally, my life long dream has become a reality and I can live in the Jewish homeland. We still have some way to go to gain true political control, as the Turks currently have control over the land; and we have to actually buy land from the Arabs that live here! But there were already Jews that lived here when we arrived, which is encouraging. There are other small things which are so different from Poland. For starters, the weather is so different here in Palestine - I am glad there are no more freezing, bitterly cold winters like I grew up with in Poland. But some days are very hard - my friends and I never learnt how to work the land and be farmers in our lives! But this is what we must learn to live here. Is there anyone that has any tips for my friends and I who live in Rishon Letziyon?
Yours sincerely,
a new and proud Oleh :)

How do you do it????
ReplyDeleteI have moved from a shtetl called Pinsk in Poland. I can finally live in a Jewish homeland. Although there is still a long way to go before we gain true political control and also buy land off the Arabs who live their currently. But there a Jews who live there before i arrived so that will make me feel more comfortable and encouraging. There are other things that are different to Poland such as the weather. At least there aren't any more cold winters in Palestine. The hardest part my friends and I discovered as we got here was that we had to work the land and be farmers. But we must learn new things as we go along! Is there anyone that has any tips for my friends and I who live in Gederah?
