Somebody has to be the take-charge person.
I hope to be in the States I"YH for about 2 weeks in November - it's been almost5 2 years since I've seen my mother. So when we find out exactly when they'll be here we'll see how the program works.
I think we should do an Imamother melave malka and make everybody come to MA.

You guys are SO great! We arrive Wed., Nov. 16 and depart Mon., Nov. 28. Since we've only just started to put plans together, we're completely open right now. So the shabbosim of either the 19th or 26th would both work for me. Marion, since you're hosting us (thank you again!) just let me know what works best. And yes we would definitely like to get a tour around either before or after shabbos as well from anyone that has time/is willing. Of course, we'd also love to meet as many of you as are around and available to get together.
We are really looking forward to it!

Hi y'all! So now that we're past the chagim we are full steam ahead on our plans for the pilot trip. I'm hoping we can still meet a bunch of you while we're there!
I also have a question for everyone. We are trying to figure out what hechsherim are commonly accepted in the DL community. I know kashrus is a little more involved there (funny that!  ). In particular with eating out, what is the situation - both in and out of Yerushalayim? Is there a list of commonly accepted hechsherim available anywhere?

It can vary in the DL community. Some will accept practically everything and some are stricter. Meat by default is not always glatt, so a good percentage are more careful about meat.
Here are some hechsherim that practically everyone says are okay: http://welcomingolim.blogspot.......html and here there are certificates too - http://www.jerusalemkoshernews.....rael/
In terms of restuarants, the ones listed on eluna as mehadrin are okay. As you are here longer, you can decide if you want to be less strict.
In terms of grocery store products, be careful to watch out for imported things that you wouldn't eat in America like triangle K, and anything foreign (imported) that you don't recognize.

That is exactly what I was looking for - thank you!! One clarification in terms of restaurants - I notice the second link has some rabbanuts that are NOT mehadrin. Does that mean that a restaurant with one of those rabbanuts would be okay to eat in? Or is that only for packaged food? Or did I miss something?

The non-mehadrin would be okay for buying fruits/vegetables.
For restuarants, I'd stick to mehadrin till you have your derech - you can look at the list on www.eluna.com. In Jerusalem, you'll have no problem finding places. In other parts of Israel, it can be more difficult so advanced planning will help.

Hi there,
Just saw this thread and haven't read through all the posts (only the first few where you mentioned you were interested in MA). Wanted to extend an invitation to come to our home to chat about our experiences (positive!) here and in other communities that we've lived in in Israel over the past twelve years. Maybe Motzei Shabbat, since it seems you're booked for the whole of Shabbat itself!
B'hatzlacha rabbah!

Very funny. The question is, who is scarier, Looney or my kids?

I'm guessing it depends on who you ask! I like Looney, and your kids. Maybe I'm the freak
