For most animal lovers, a household pet is another member of the family. Pets are required to go through a separate approval process before they will be allowed entry into Israel. Israel’s Misrad Hachaklaut (Ministry of Agriculture), Reshut Hateva V’haganim (Nature Reserves Authority) and EL AL Israel Airlines each have specific regulations that determine which pets are eligible to travel on flights and be approved for entry into Israel. Coordinating your pet’s Aliyah requires advanced planning.

Shipping Guide

Baruch Mackler — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 11:12:34 +0000

Shipping is expensive, so it makes sense to ship only what you need and will use in your new home in Israel – now is the time to start cutting back. Most shipments are 50/50 – half of the volume is large items, and the other half is the small items which ultimately will go into boxes. This means that it is just as important to sort your clothing, toys, and dishes as it is to debate bringing the sofa and dining room set. Remember that your home in Israel may well be smaller, and let’s face it, if you haven’t used it in the last 12 months, you probably don’t need it anymore.
