Hi Everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the end of the summer. This week has been a hectic week. On Tuesday morning I went to the airport to greet the new olim. On Wednesday evening I went to the Jewish Bloggers convention in Jerusalem. I took pictures of both. Here are the two emails I send out: Subject: Welcome Home to the New Olim (and 364 pictures) Hi Everyone! On Tuesday morning, August 19, 2008, I was at Ben-Gurion airport to greet the new olim that made aliyah from North America to Israel. There were 240 olim on the flight including 18 singles (including 6 joining the IDF) and 46 families with 104 children. The youngest oleh in the group is one month old and the oldest oleh is 72 years old. I took 364 pictures of the exciting event and I posted them online at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/2008/a373.htm I also copied 330 of the 364 pictures to Facebook for name tagging. There are six sets of pictures and the address of the first set is: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=48152&id=553691548 If you have a Facebook acccount and you are in the pictures or see someone you know, please feel free to name tag the pictures. May the aliyah from all over of the world grow and bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael. Have a good day, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Pictures of the International Jewish Bloggers Convention in Jerusalem Hi Everyone! Today, August 20, 2008, I attended the first International Jewish Bloggers Convention in Jerusalem. It was great meeting, face-to-face, the people behind the Jewish Blogsphere. A big thank you to everyone that worked on making this event a success. I posted 143 pictures of the convention on my website at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/jerusalem/2008/jer173.htm I also copied all 143 pictures to Facebook for name tagging. There are three sets of pictures and the address of the first set is: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=48349&id=553691548 If you have a Facebook acccount and you are in the pictures or see someone you know, please feel free to name tag the pictures. Enjoy the pictures and have a good night, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- This is a nice Jerusalem zoo item that was featured around the world: Disabled turtle uses new wheels to find love See: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/things/turtle.htm ------------------------------------------------------------- At the beginning of the summer I sold one of my websites to pay some bills. Now I need to pay some biger bills so I am making a bigger effort to sell some of my other websites. These 5 sites are for sale. If you or your company are seriously interested in any of them, please contact me. The deal may include continued hosting on my server.

To keep it simple and short: After 24 years in Israel, I can not think of another place in the world that I would rather be. I am proud to be a Jew and the home of all Jews is in Israel. Time for the jobs...... Shabbat Shalom, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- The CJI report has been published on-line since June 1993.
