From Tehilla Rosenthal

I'm making aliya in october and I remember talking with Reva in Israel about her experience during a shabbos we had spent together at my parents. She had compared making aliya to getting married...during the beginning of the aliya process (making the decision, first moving, etc.) everyones excited, there's parties like sheva brachot, but then the reality of living in Israel sets in....it was a colorful and memorable way of describing a real issue and concern. Something I've been thinking about, planning and accounting for. I remember that shabbos, especially that discussion and the honesty and accompanying laughs. She was a really smart, deep thinking and funny person.
