i feel very fortunate that my 3 Kallahs had that year
i have a son, went to Neve Tzion, in Telzstone, spent a lot of the time reveling on ben yehuda street, nevertheless Eretz Yisroel and his Rabbaim had a profound impact on him. he has been living, learning full time, (and i mean full time)in Yerushalayim ever since.
