Nadav Kinochim: the best chocolate in Israel and beyond

When I tell you that some of the most delicate and rich chocolate and pastry I have ever had in my life came from the middle of Israel, I suspect you will not believe me. Even if you know I'm no étrangère to chocolate.

let me put it to you the way it was explained to me. remember I told you about making aliyah? well, CSJ's cousin told us that eating dessert at Nadav Kinochim was like making aliyah, that Israelis from all over the country travel to the tiny town (village?) of Ramat Yishai to experience their lovely pastries, breads, cakes, and chocolates.
After sampling some sweets from this incredible place, I completely understood the euphoria associated with making aliyah.

I'm going to ask CSJ's cousin to help me here. She knows the 'story' of the place and will do it more justice than I will; also she will be better able to transliterate.

In the meantime, I will tell you that you'll find Nadav Kinochim in a sort of strip mall off Road 75.
Ramat Yishai is between where Roads 77 (to the east) and 73 (to the west) hit Road 75.

Anyone who has better directions and/or information, please email me or leave a comment. thanks. I promise to be back with more details.

Making Aliyah

I guess every Jew knows - or should know - what it means to Make Aliyah.
Before I explain it to the rest of us, let me say that "Aliyah" means to "Ascent" as in: to rise or go to a special/sacred/holy place, a place without parallel.

I thought that visiting Israel was making Aliyah, but (according to 25WaytoHelpIsrael) Making Aliyah means moving to Israel and declaring Israeli citizenship. This is the biggest contribution a Jew can make for the State of Israel and this is the biggest contribution the State of Israel can make to any Jew.

If you're interested, here's a link to a Pre-Aliyah Checklist. It's from the Jewish Agency for Israel site. These guys send missions to Israel, aid people in crisis, and set up new immigrants at absorption centers around Israel.

Please, please, please write in and comment and let me know my Aliyah information is correct (or not).
