This is kind of cool. I am blogging from Ben Gurion Airport (free wifi is so civilized!). I am going to board in about 10 minutes and I have an awesome seat. Yay! I am going to New York as part of a team of Jewish bloggers who will be following new immigrants to Israel as they prepare for and ultimately make aliyah to Israel on August 18th with Nefesh B’Nefesh. NBN will then follow up a day after our arrival with an International Jewish Bloggers Conference, which, if you are a blogger, you ought to sign up for. In any case, NBN will be assigning a new immigrant to me when I get to New York and hopefully you’ll get to know who he or she is and why they decided to go to move to Israel. I’ll try to be informative and entertaining – Stephen, the guy in charge told me I’ll be covering a hottie, but I don’t believe him. In any case, we’ll see. Besides, I’ll be happy to write about (and celebrate) anyone willing to leave the deceptive comforts of Babylon in order to make a life for themselves in Israel, the Jewish homeland. You can meet and see what the rest of our blogging crew are up to at http://www.nbnblog.com/
Zionist much? Hell yeah! Stay tuned for more info…

It entered the English language in 1952, but it rings me as an improper as in too literal translation of the German “Fleischtöpfe” (= pots of meat, cf. Exodus 16, 2-4) into English.
mmm… flesh-pots.
Sounds like some sort of fleishig fondue. :-p
Stuck in New York- poor guy.
He meant “Flashpots”. There must be a Motley Crue show at MSG.
Fleshpots?
reading lots and lots of tehilim and lamentations to steel myself against the temptations offered up by these fleshpots… i am at kennedy now!
Many blessings from us Jewish Babylonian Vikings!
Betcha didn’t think there were any of us. BTW – Israel has enough “hotties”. So stop taking them from Babylon. I may have to send Thorgold, Ingmarburg and Svenstein to bring them back.
Also, you didn’t specify what kind of preparation you’ll be doing for two weeks in NYC.
That is cool!
Good luck.
Since when has your style evolved into chick lit, Middle?
(It’s 2:19am CET, and I haven’t adjusted to the time zone yet, so I’m reading Lauren Weiserger’s most recent book.)
May you find a single hottie and, you know, have lots of babies.
Hope you’re having a safe trip and an easy time at immigration. 🙂
