Joanna Shebson aka Shebet
©FunInJerusalem.com is the source for information on fun kid’s activities in Jerusalem, Israel. My name is Joanna Shebson (aka Shebet) and I am a mom of two cute boys AZ (6 yrs old) and MP (3 yrs old). My husband, AZ, MP and I made aliyah to Israel, with the help of Nefesh B’Nefesh, from Los Angeles in August 2007. I love living in Jerusalem and enjoy all the fun kids activities. That’s why I decided it was time to SHARE THE FUN.
Thanks to Kelli Brown who gave me blogging inspiration and the tools to get it started. You can visit me on facebook, in our facebook group “Fun In Jerusalem“, on twitter @funinjerusalem or on YouTube at Fun In Jerusalem for information on how to entertain your kids in Jerusalem.
My goal is to “help locals feel like tourists and tourists feel like locals” and of course to share some fun in the process.
My FUN Philosophy for Kids Activities
- Choose a place that is as easy to get to as it is easy to leave
- 30 minutes of fun can be very worthwhile
- Always bring snacks and drinks
- Be prepared: Know where to go, what clothes to dress your kids in, and what to expect
- Share info with your friends…they are your best resource
Feel free to email me with your questions, ideas and especially pictures of your kids in fun places in Jerusalem: info@funinjerusalem.com
Thank you to Meira Josephy Gross for creating our logo and her technical support
