Not really. According to this BBC article, aliyah is down this year. Frankly, I’m surprised that the article wasn’t angrier about the thought of more Jews staying in Europe, considering the way the BBC usually covers anything Israel related. But don’t take my word on it, check out this post on Jewlicious from earlier this year about the BBC’s coverage of the 40th anniversary of the 6 Day War.
Also, I was shocked that Jewlicious had a fresh post up this morning. I figured they would still be sleeping this morning after last night’s Heebonism events. As for the wifey and I, we got our gentile on and went to a great Christmas party last night. For us, being near a Chistmas tree was so fascinating, plus the tree itself was very impressive. Big up to Lea and Jason for the good food and good times!
And a big up to Uncle Fred for sending me the link to the BBC article.
