I'm no spring chicken. Are you???
I've always been amused by the fact that we happily admit that someone's "no spring chicken," but at no point in their life does anyone admit to actually being a spring chicken. We only use it to define what we and others are not.
But if you, like me, are no spring chicken, then aliyah is going to present you with some special challenges.
Last week, I asked readers to share their biggest aliyah questions with me. I was surprised, amazed, touched - you choose the right word - at how many did. And at how many different questions there are. So much for my big idea of offering advice. It's humbling sometimes how little I know.
A few questions that keep coming up again and again, sometimes in slightly different form, are:
How can I make aliyah at my age? Will it be too hard? Can I do it? Will I be okay?
I'm not going to lie to you. When you are no spring chicken (like me!),
