Moving to Israel

I read another, what would seem to be, innocuous post on the TACHLIS news group this morning that really put an extra bounce in my step for the week. The post was from someone named “Ayala” and mentioned that they were looking for a community to move into in Israel with all their important prerequisites listed.

While posts like these may seem like “just another one” to many, to me they always make me smile. They make me happy because, despite all the trials and tribulations we go through here people continue to move to Israel, look for new communities in Israel, thrive in Israel and more. People are not letting all the very public struggles the country goes through on a regular basis prevent them from living their dream of living in the Jewish home land. It would be very easy for the Jews at large to let all the negative publicity and news stories coming out of the Holy Land discourage them from making such a dramatic overhaul to their lives. Thank G-d, I hear stories daily that this is not the case. People continue to “come home” and, as we hopefully continue to spread the word, this will only increase in number as the days, weeks and years go by.

Good luck Ayala. We will definitely be in touch over here at the Moving to Israel blog to extend a hand and offer any tools and/or encouragement that may be of service.
