Unfortunately, for many Jews Israel doesn't feel like home when they get here. The mentality is different, the language, the whole life. <br /><br />Maybe Jews abroad have a certain imagination about Israel. How it may be and how the people are. Suddenly being confronted with reality can be a shock or disappointment. <br /><br />Regarding friends: Israel is a place where you will easily find friends. On the other hand, leaving everything behind is not that easy and many new Olim forget that. <br /><br />By the way, I also don't have a home yet.:-))))<br />I have been divided between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for years now. At the moment, I am tending much more to Tel Aviv but Jerusalem also remains home.Miriam Woelkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627379693165339825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451958387969081740.post-77513581551976677852011-12-29T11:31:21.309+02:002011-12-29T11:31:21.309+02:00I think it's unfortunate A. said that. I mysel...I think it's unfortunate A. said that. I myself am considering Aliyah, but who knows if it is in my future or not?<br /><br />In A's case, I think because she has a fallback plan and an idea of an ideal home. She might not be able to commit to making Aliyah because she feels like she may already have a home where she is from. <br /><br />In my case, the only thing preventing me from doing Aliyah, among other things, would be close friends and the people I care about at shul, etc. I don't really have a home (yet).Petrarchan Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16999122340913274777noreply@blogger.com
