When I lived in New York, I was a “New Yawker” and classified as American when I stepped out of the country. How obvious it was that I was American and with a heavy New York accent to boot. Making Aliyah (immigrating to Israel) was a good feeling. I thought I was among my people, and being Jewish was my qualifier, but boy was I shocked to find out that wasn’t a true statement. I arrived at the Airport taking a Nefesh B’Nefesh flight for Americans making Aliyah. I was wearing a hot pink tank top and holding a wedding dress in my arm, ready for my new life. I had a ton of luggage like all the other passengers getting on the flight. I saw the sign that said, “Nefesh B’Nefesh”, proceeding to the back of the line, a woman also on the line, looked at me and informed me that I was on the wrong line.
