On Labels & Successful Aliyah

Sorry for the inundation of posts the past week or so; it happens sometimes. A couple worthwhile reads:

• Erachet, on a roll lately, manages to tie Dr. Seuss and sneetches into a great discussion on labels. It's a very interesting and different approach to the subject in general, I think.
  
• Chayyei Sarah has an excellent post about having made it through five years since making aliyah, often the mark of someone who won't have to go back.
