Mayim Bialik’s back home in LA after the actress, neuroscientist and mommy blogger spent some vacation time in Israel with her two sons.

Bialik, first known for her TV debut in “Blossom” and more recently as Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler on “The Big Bang Theory,” has also gathered a large fan following for writing about her marriage, divorce, religious practice and child-rearing.

During her trip to Israel, the family stayed in Jerusalem at the King David Hotel, made the requisite pilgrimage to the Western Wall and spent Shabbat with cousins, according to Bialik’s Twitter feed.

They also spent time in Tel Aviv, and visited the city’s Bialik House, named for Haim Nahman Bialik, Israel’s poet laureate and the actress’s cousin, three times removed, according to Wikipedia.
