several months in a high school in Israel. Wanting to give him
a different experience from their yeshiva in St. Louis, Aryeh’s
parents sent him to Israel for tenth grade in a school that was
supposed to have American students but in fact enrolled most-
ly Israelis that year. Aryeh lasted until May and then went
home to complete high school.
After their wedding, the young Weinberg couple settled in
Baltimore and all was well. Aryeh was working, and Shoshana
was primarily an at-home mother who occasionally did free-
lance writing and editing projects. During the five years preced-
”ing their aliyah, she wrote text for a company that produced
“Torah cards,” which were collectable cards for children depict-
ing pictures and facts from the Torah. The Weinberg children
attended Bais Yaakov and Torah Institute, and thoughts of
aliyah were on the backburner in Shoshana’s mind. An impor-
tant factor was that their oldest daughter was diabetic, and in
those days, Israel lacked sufficient medical expertise to deal
with her condition.

It seems that the aliyah dream that Shoshana had carried in
her heart for so many years was to remain dormant, until the
day when, ironically, Aryeh felt the desire to consider it. The
more he contemplated life and internalized the messages from
the Torah about the chashivus of Eretz Yisrael, the more he con-
cluded that his home must be there, among am Yisrael.
