”was most appreciated. “From the time they got back from the
trip, all I heard was, ‘We have to move!’” says Pnina. Nachum
had already been in Israel a number of times and was interested
in living there, and Pesach simply fell in love with the Land and
“and didn’t understand why all Jews are not living there.” Pnina,
however, had been in Israel only twice, over 14 years ago, once for
a summer tour and then for her sister’s wedding.
After some persuasion, however, she came to Israel to check
things out. “I came for two weeks, and the whole time I said,
‘This is not for me,’” says Pnina, who spent most of the trip
with her sister and sister-in-law. Caught up in the materialism
of America, she felt that Eretz Yisrael at the time was somewhat
like third-world country. “Part of my hang-up was that I wanted
something along the lines of the standards of my house in Bal-
timore,” Pnina explains.
But on the plane back to the States, Pnina started to have sec-
ond thoughts. She decided that she would make the move for the
sake of her husband and son. Their other kids, 12-year-old Reva
and the six-year-old twins, Chaim and Chavi, weren’t too happy
when Nachum and Pnina announced the impending move. They
complained that the move would “ruin their lives.” Now, after 13
years of life in Israel, all four Eilberg children are happy to be liv-
ing there, and Reva, who was the most upset, is now married with
a baby and would never consider living anywhere else.
