Alumni Highlight - Fun in Jerusalem

Joanna Shebson attended Orot in 1993-1994. In 2007 she came on aliyah with her husband Jonathan and their two sons, Aryeh and Marko and they settled in Jerusalem. Joanna spent the first year getting her family adjusted and finishing shiputzim on their apt which is a job in itself. With the Israeli gan schedule finishing at 1pm she got used to finding fun activities to do with her kids in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is full of wonderful attractions, special events and even fun parks. In May 2009 Joanna started to collect information about events in Jerusalem for kids and from there her blog was born. Fun in Jerusalem is the source for kids' activities in Jerusalem. It includes an online calendar of events and blog posts about all sorts of topics for locals and tourists including swimming pools in Jerusalem, volunteer opportunities for teens and fun restaurants to take kids to. You can also find information and some fun discussions on the Fun In Jerusalem facebook group. For those who like to twitter you can find her @funinjerusalem.
