This is a great overview, and I know I'll be back here perusing these posts many times.

Can you make any suggestions regarding choosing a community? Here in the states it seems like there is much more gray/variety within neighborhoods. We're still in the throes of RaggedyDad's MBA (another 2.5-3 yrs) but are trying to think ahead to right after that, hopefully.

I made Aliya from France 2 years ago.
I had good times in Israel and less good times, but I know it was the right decision to come here.
I will be happy to answer any questions from people who think of doing it and give my advise to them.
Having relatives in Israel already is a big asset.
In case someone wants to find new relatives and stay in touch with the old ones, I can recommend the Israeli website www.jworld.famillion.com
Famillion is a worldwide family project connecting people across the globe, transcending borders and languages. you simply build your family tree and the system matches it with related trees and that way you connect to new or old relatives and make your family tree grow. you can also upload pictures and exchange family stories.
It s a great tool to find relatives and stay in touch with them.
So, guys, let s get all connected!!!
looking forward to receiving your comments...
Stay in touch,

Deborah
