Dr. Reuven Ben Dov writes:
Your family doesn’t understand why you made aliyah? Give them Ruthie Fogelman’s “diary,” obviously written with a deep love for Jerusalem and the so-called Jewish Quarter where she lives. It is a simple, non-academic expression of family life of not-so-new immigrants written against the backdrop of religious events in Jerusalem.
Husband Yaacov, famous for his Top educational center in the Old City and his weekly commentary on the Torah reading, has another unusual gift. He attracts many interesting guests to his Shabbat table and is fond of networking between them. They are often strangers to each other and to the Fogelmans, but not for long. I strongly suspect that their table talk is usually fascinating and inspiring.
