Jamie Geller Building the Dream Home In Israel

Jamie Geller made Aliyah to Israel over 7 years ago and now is finally living the dream of owning a home in the Holyland. After the wildly popular Joy of Aliyah series documenting the whole process of moving a family from the US to Israel, Jamie Geller is back to share the true story of what it took to buy and build a home in Israel.

Congratulations. Knowing that you and your family was meant to go home to Israel, working through the sacrifices makes this so much more. Blessing

[@jamiegeller]

Thanks!

@@jamiegeller I've made amazing meals in the middle of the desert in Miluim (reserve duty) with camping stoves and canned ingredients. And that was all while training with our artillery vehicles.

[@tjasabondi4325]

Such a beautiful story. We made Aliyah 32 years ago from Yugoslavia and I know a life of Olim very well. Now my kids have their own families in Israel. My husband and I have seven beautiful grandchildren and we love Israel.

[@jamiegeller]

So great to hear!

I cannot wait to see this new video from the awesome and wonderful Jamie Geller! I love ALL of your videos. You are very special and have a big heart! 😍😍😍

[@jamiegeller7395]

THANK YOUUUUUU!

[@chanabatiyayehezkel304]

This moved me to tears. I am so happy for you that you finally have it together! The fact that you've been shooting all those yammi videos in other people kithens just inspired me sooo much to create no mettter the situation (Im an illustrator and have stopped creating for almost a year because of different life issues). Just makes me want to keep on going and creating my own vlog. I am learning from you(between the lines) to keep my onw thing going. I can imagine that managing a big family can at times consume you completely without leaving any energy and good will to push your thing to the world. I am imaganing that you are doing this not strictly for parnassa. I get a good taste in my mouth just from watchin your yammi videos. I have also watched your Aliya video few years back and teared, felt Israeli pride for you and so admired your brave move, wich eventually everyone will have to do. It seems now that You did it in a Great timing!!! Love u

[@orland0110]

Outstanding video! Enjoyed it from start to finish. Many blessings to you and your amazing family and that you may live the most wonderful life possible in your home in Israel.

Thank you!

[@blessthegood1404]

Home is not a kitchen table. It is smiles and stories told around that table. It isn't the kiddush cup it is the blessing that goes with it. It isn't the challah, it's the love that put it together. My mama used her cooking medicinally. If not careful, her food warmed the heart before filling the belly.

[@jamiegeller]

You are right!

Do you know where this is located? This is in beit shemesh. That is as legitimately Israel as any other country. That is like saying that Indonesia really belongs to Mongolia because of History.

[@michealfriedman7084]

You mean Syria-Palestina, that's what the Greeks called it in BCE when the Jews owned Israel. The Arabs in Gaza are from Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

[@jbb1102]

Palestine is a made-up country. Your home is Jordan!

[@user-mc9ds8kn6s]

When did Palestine become a country? How can you be for murderers, beheaders, burning people alive, and sexual r*ping civilians? There is no archeological history of a country called Palestine whatsoever. Isreal has had a nation in the same location three times within 3500 years. And by the way, Palestinian actually means "invaders."
