Teaching just made a comeback as one of the greatest professions! Molding childrens minds, expanding adults horizons, passing down a treasure trove of information from master to student. I believe online learning has made teachers on-trend. After all, when it comes to wanting information, we all look to the World Wide Web! You can study anything from piano to Hebrew, and you get an experienced professional teaching you.
In 2017, I had the moment that every woman dreads: I found a lump in my breast. I did the responsible thing and went to my family doctor. She assured me that it was likely nothing, but sent me for an ultrasound, “to be safe,” and referred me to a specialist.

Data scientists vary in the type of work they do and in how directly applied the work is, which will depend on the size and nature of the company.

Over the past decades, in the U.S. and other countries, it has become a matter of good practice for individuals to arrange not only for the inevitable in the form of a Last Will and Testament but for management and care for the time when one cannot manage on their own. The documents which people usually seek to obtain, address the following in the U.S.
Many people who are considering Aliyah are rightfully concerned about their employment prospects in Israel. The truth is, the stronger your Hebrew is, the easier settling into life in Israel will be for you. But many Olim face the challenge of transferring their career to Israel – does your specific career exist in Israel? Is your Hebrew good enough to pursue jobs in your field upon arrival in Israel? These may seem like daunting questions, but you are actually coming with a huge advantage: English.
Finding the right community for your family is important to matter where in the world you choose to settle. If you’ve decided to make your home in Israel, there may be several factors to consider that didn’t exist in North America.

On a recent Saturday night, I was preparing my three-year- old son’s sandwich for the next morning for school – yes, in Israel there is school and work on Sundays. I opened my freezer and found I was out of sliced bread and only had pita. I nervously explained to my picky child that we are out of the normal bread, would he be willing to take pita instead? His response was, “Yes! Then I will be like everybody else!”
Process. It is a word commonly heard during both pre and post Aliyah. Navigating the world of special needs in a new country is a process and can be overwhelming. It is hard not to compare systems, availabilities of services and ease of access when immigrating from one country to another. Knowing where to turn and necessary steps to take to ensure that your child receives the services he/she needs prior to your Aliyah will help you set expectations and most of all, give a sense of security upon your Aliyah.
A US citizen who is a resident of Israel (with the assumption that the Israeli resident is not in the 10 year exemption period) who sells US corporate stock will pay the first right of tax to Israel on the capital gain (generally the sales price less the original cost).
8:00 a.m. - It’s Shabbat tonight and we are going out for both meals over Shabbat so we need to go shopping. We go to the bakery to get challah for our Friday night meal and pay 20 shekels for two challot. Additionally, we head over to a local grocery store to buy stuff that we need for the week and items for the salad we will be making for Shabbat lunch. I also buy some chicken wings that I will be making Saturday night for the big college football game that luckily I get to watch because it starts at 7:00 pm Israel time.
I made Aliyah a week after my wedding and joined my husband, a lone soldier who made the move several years before. We met at a wedding in Israel a year earlier and maintained a long-distance relationship for the year leading up to our wedding. It was scary and exciting. I could not have predicted then how vital living in Israel would be for us and for our future family.
How much do you need to make it in Israel?
