Aliyah Revolution Revisted

Howdy, Y’all!!  I am writing to you from my hometown of Sherman, Texas, where it has been over 100 degrees every day!

I want to thank all the communities Yishai (and I) have visited over the course of our American summer speaking tour.  Yishai can’t stop raving about all the amazing people, all the wonderfully hospitable Chabad houses, shuls, and private families, and all the unique and interesting cities he has come to know.  He is already eager to start his upcoming winter tour (details will be forthcoming), when he will revisit some of these great people and places, and bring Israel’s message and promise to new friends who have already begun extending invitations!

Right now, Yishai is in Atlanta, where he reports people are very interested in talking about the topic of aliyah (yay!).  He’s also eager to get his hands on one of Georgia’s celebrated peaches (and are mint juleps kosher?).

Yesterday, my father, Leah, and I all piled into the car to take Yishai to the Dallas/Fort Worth airport for his flight to Atlanta.  Looking for a way to entertain Leah on the long drive home, I tried to pop in a CD.  But there was one already in the player.  I ejected it – it was one of the first copies of Kumah’s Aliyah Revolution CD (still in the player since the last time we visited, 10 months ago!  Looks like Dad’s more of a radio guy)!

I hit play – and I loved it!  I was intimately involved in making this album, and I have heard it dozens of times.  But I was still inspired by the sometimes powerful, sometimes playful compilation of songs – all of which were donated by the artists in hopes of helping to bring their brothers home.

Around America, Yishai has been giving copies of the Aliyah Revolution album to donors to Kumah.  We have been getting terrific responses, and more orders have already been put in (we are awaiting delivery of our new batch of 5,000).  You can also get your hands on this first-of-its-kind musical extravaganza!

In the meantime, we thank you all – Jews and gentiles – for your support as we work to build a stronger, brighter, mightier Israel.
