1 So, Shira… :‫דניאל‬
:‫שירה‬
2 What? :‫דניאל‬
:‫שירה‬
3 You want to know why I’m making aliyah :‫דניאל‬
to Israel? :‫שירה‬
:‫דניאל‬
4 Yes.
:‫שירה‬
5 Ok. I have an uncle in Israel – my father’s :‫דניאל‬
brother. He lives in Jerusalem. :‫שירה‬
:‫דניאל‬
6 Oh.
:‫שירה‬
My dad loves his brother very much, and :‫דניאל‬

7 every year in August, we come for a visit :‫שירה‬
:‫דניאל‬
in Israel.
:‫שירה‬
8 What do you do on the visit? :‫דניאל‬
:‫שירה‬
9 We tour the country, meet friends, and :‫דניאל‬
many more things. :‫שירה‬
:‫דניאל‬
11 Do you like the visits here? :‫שירה‬

Yes, very much. All year I think about the
visit. At the end of the visit I don’t want to

return to America. In short, my uncle has

11 three children: Benny, Gil, and Tali. Benny

and I are good friends; we speak a lot on

the phone and on Skype, and also write a

lot of emails (to each other).

12 Nice.

Yeah. In 2006 Benny was a soldier and

13 there was a war in Lebanon. And you know

what?

14 What?

I thought I should [need to] be in Lebanon,

helping Benny and his friends. I thought I

15 should also enlist in the IDF. I thought I

should finish college and come on aliyah to
Israel. And that’s it. Now I’m here.

16 And your parents? What do they say about
this?

17 They don’t like it, but they understand.
They’re terrific parents.

18 Terrific? Wow, you really are an Israeli…

19 Thank you very much!

21 Umm… thank you very much isn’t really
Israeli…

21 I know, but… I’m Israeli, but also a
gentleman.

22 Never mind… One week in Israel and it’ll
pass.
