Aliya – Stamp of Approval

HaDassah Sabo Milner — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:16:00 +0000

I have written previously about my son’s impending Aliya. Since then plans changed many times, and at one point we weren’t even sure it was going to happen. There have been many good lessons learned along the way – by both of us, and going through this process together has brought us so much closer. [...]

I have been called a pseudo-feminist. I like to talk the talk, but don’t really walk the walk. I fulfill the traditional female role and am happy with that. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend. Yes, I am a woman too, but that is just part of who [...]

Aliyah – Not So Easy

HaDassah Sabo Milner — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:05:14 +0000

I have just returned from a long weekend in Israel. It was rather a long journey for such a short time but it is what it is. My time there was wonderful. I immersed myself in family, in religion, in culture, in language, in food – I bathed in the joy of breathing my country’s [...]

The floods of tears are not happening as often as I thought they would. But they are there, threatening to burst their banks at every given opportunity. He’s leaving soon – and I am prouder than any mother, but so sad that my oldest child is flying the nest. We have spent hours filling in [...]

Aliya Is Still Happening

HaDassah Sabo Milner — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 11:18:03 +0000

I have lost count of the comments / emails / phone calls that have assumed that now that Israel is under attack that I will be preventing my son from making Aliya in the summer. Now that a ground war is imminent, I will prohibit him from joining the IDF and I will keep him [...]

At least we’re dry

It’s been 24 hours since we lost power here in Rockland County, NY. Mere hours after power went out last night, Hurricane Sandy hit the shores. The wind last night was more scary than any horror movie soundtrack. The fallen leaves were picked up and thrown against our front door, the windows were shaking in [...]

Letting go — a mother’s story

HaDassah Sabo Milner — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:24:02 +0000

It was just yesterday that I held my son Aryeh in my arms, mere minutes old, awed with the responsibility of raising him. He was my firstborn – and until I first held him, I had no clue what a tremendous journey parenthood would be. He turned 17 this past summer, and made the decision [...]
