Moving to Modi’in

While America was celebrating their independence on Thursday we celebrated our independence from landlords. We finally signed a contract and purchased a beautiful home in Modi'in.

Modi'in is a relatively new town smack between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. If your interested you can read about it here and here.

Modi'in is the ancient home of the Maccabees. I came up with a slogan for the town.

Modi'in - where it's Channukah 365 days a year.

It's funny because the weekend edition of Ma'ariv had an article on the top ten things you should be spending your money on this summer.

Number 4? A house in Modi'in. So we are quite happy with our investment.

We spent the entire weekend packing because we need to be out of our rented apartment by Thursday. Our original plans fell through so we need to find a place to rent for a month within the next couple of days. Anyone got any leads?

Ah, the stress. I just don't have time to worry about hundas, Iranian missile threats, Hamas, Haredi stone throwers, anti-Semitic Oxford professors and Arafat's ramblings.

I have my own problems.
