Dual Citizenship

My green card was confiscated yesterday. At this time I'm not allowed to leave the United States. That is, at least until I get my US passport :-)

Yep, I was sworn in yesterday, and you are now reading lines written by a US citizen. Just in the last moment, before returning to live in Israel... The oath ceremony was very interesting - more than 250 immigrants, from 64 nations, becoming Americans. You don't see similar events in many places around the globe. I should admit that for me it is more a matter of technical convenience than an exciting and emotional day, but it was obvious from the faces of my fellow new citizens that this wasn't the case for most of them. And for what it's worth, I'll be able to freely travel in the future without ever needing to renew a green card or to apply for a US visa.

Here we go again...

At last, we too have established our presence in the blogosphere :-)

We are leaving Pittsburgh in three weeks, and embarking on a three month adventure in the Western United States. In early September, we are returning to Israel, to open the next chapter of our life in Haifa. We hope to use this space to keep in touch with all the important people in our lives!
