If anyone is still reading this, just wanted to let you all know that my family and I moved back to Ohio for my husband’s career this past July. We were all so sad to leave the TC and had such an amazing experience. Good luck to any newcomers who find this article!

Shalom Riki,
I just found these notes while looking for something else. I never heard back from Jennifer and didn’t see your message till now. I hope you have integrated into our community. Even so I wanted you to know that we in the Minneapolis Chapter of Hadassah are very warm and want to be an extended family for all of our sisters and brothers here in Mpls, in Israel and around the world.
Everyone in Hadassah is welcome to ALL Hadassah activities. Our young woman’s group (25 through about 40ish) is called Neshama. Then there is Tikvah Group which has women of all ages. Our chapter has activities coming up for families, women, couples, etc —day, evenings & Sundays. Then we have a wonderful group of incredibly bright and active older women who are our role models. Hadassah is celebrating it’s 100th year of educating people and in many ways saving lives both physically and figuratively. Our membership for a Lifetime of empowerment, friends and fun is only $100 till December 31st(after that $360). Please find me on facebook,respond to this or e-mail me at Krisfor@msn.com so I can help you meet a great group of women who care to make a difference.

I almost certainly would not have contemplated this was useful two or three months ago, yet it is interesting how age evolves the manner you respond to stuff, thank you for the blog article it really is pleasing to see something sensible now and then as opposed to the usual rubbish masquerading as blogs and forums around the internet. Cheers

Hi Jennifer,
My name is Riki and Im new in town too…well maybe not that new. Im here for 6 months allready and I would love to get your addivice about getting some social connections.
I moved to MN from tel -Aviv because my husband is a minnesota native and I wasnt that good starting a new life here. I guess him being from here and my self from Israel made our situation difficulte when it came down to getting around
If you have any advice- I would be very appriciative!
