Announcing the publication of MOVING UP: An Aliyah Journal, published by Mazo Publishers, Israel-USA.
MOVING UP: An Aliyah Journal, a first-of-its-kind book, highlights the good, the not so good, and the crazy about making Aliyah to Israel. The story begins when Laura Ben-David, followed by reporters, photojournalists and TV newscasters, with their cameras rolling, packed up her bags, her family and her life to board the first Nefesh BNefesh plane and embark on her new life in Israel. In addition to the paparazzi, Ben-David, herself, began to write up the Aliyah adventure in daily, humorous blogs. Laura Ben-David didnt know that Aliyah would be the most emotional, frustrating, moving and hilarious experience of her life. In the journal, the first year of her familys Aliyah is depicted in an entertaining format, complete with exciting photographs and a foreword by Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, Executive Director of Nefesh BNefesh. Ben-Davids stories are engrossing, appealing, and highly enjoyable. Lauded for writing that is both deeply passionate, and full of wit and humor, Ben-David has compiled the series of articles, anecdotes and blogs that she wrote covering the first year of her familys very public aliyah, into the exciting new book, MOVING UP: An Aliyah Journal. Shaul Goldstein, the Mayor of Gush Etzion, states, This book is a must read. Lauras writing inspires others to make Israel their home. I truly admire her passion! Ben-Davids readership grew from select family and friends, to thousands in North America, Israel and even Europe, with many of her articles published in newspapers, websites and magazines worldwide. MOVING UP: An Aliyah Journal, Ben-Davids first book, is a "must read" for anyone considering Aliyah, or just wanting a peek at life in Israel, beyond what is seen in the news. Says Israel National News editor, Ezra HaLevi, Laura gives a true insiders glimpse into American Aliyah a story of the revolutionary Jewish spirit.
