Great-Grandmothers Make Aliyah Today
Two great-grandmothers are expected to make aliyah (immigrate) to Israel on Wednesday. The two, 91-year-old Freida Weiss and 94-year-old Idit Feldstein, are both from Florida. Once in Israel, they will reunite with family members already living in the country. The arrival of the great-grandmothers was arranged by the Jewish Agency. Jewish Agency head Zeev Bielsky expressed satisfaction, saying that the arrival of the two new immigrants represents the closing of a circle for their families, and symbolizes the importance of family unity on Passover.

The Mitzrim Are Back!
Also on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, the Egyptian Defense Minister visited the Kotel to see for himself the archeological work going on under the Mugrabi Gate. Does anyone else think it's interesting that a Mitzri is in Jerusalem during Nissan?
I was there and took these pictures.
