I've only been once and I had a really wonderful time..even witnessed a miracle when I went on a date with an IDF soldier and he took me to the beach and on our way home, his car broke down and everyone came to help him. Around 10 minutes later, about 20 people were trying to help us fix his car. What a beautiful country and wonderful society to live in.
I’m glad you had such a positive experience! I totally agree ❤️❤️❤️ sad people can’t see what we do
Your videos have really improved lately, to me you feel more confident and send out a bit of a different vibe. Love it! Keep it up!
Wow! Thanks for the amazing compliment! I am definitely starting to feel more confident in front of the camera :)
this was super informative!! Thank you! ☺️☺️
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 😇
Thanks for sharing this! I’ve always wanted to learn about life in Israel ☺️ would love more videos on this!! Can’t wait for more videos and to connect ❤️
Thanks for watching and glad to know you would like to see more like this. I have a few other videos about Israel in the works. I also plan to start a vlog channel maybe later this summer when my following is a bit greater and then I will showcase a bit more of my behind the scenes life in Israel and also traveling other places :)
Israel thrives because it truly takes care of its people it seems. BLESSED!
I hear that a lot from people that live outside the US is that they pay more for taxes but get a lot more for what they pay for. Great video!
Thank you so much for watching! Ya I don’t mind paying taxes unless I feel like I’m getting nothing for it
Great video Miriam!
Thank you so much :)
Love it!
Did you see the pictures I added of you?
Great Video!👍
Thank you :)
you're smart and beautiful, and give great info on Israel, thank you
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for this lovely video. You didn't mention the free healthcare system if I am not mistaken.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think I mentioned that I got free healthcare for the first year. After that, healthcare is largely based off a social tax that comes out of an employees standard paycheck withholdings (like social security does in America)
Hi
Awesome Channel
New here
Supporting 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
Aww!! Thank you so much for the comment and support 😇 😇 😇
@@miriamstrauss Absolutely ‼️🙏🏽🍾
Amazing insights!! Stay safe! :)
Thank you! Appreciate you commenting and watching :) Will do!
Good
You’re so sweet ❤️
Thanks.

Question about the income discussion: are you earning this income from the US remotely, or when you are there in person?
I earn it while working here in Israel. I work for an Israeli company that has affiliate offices in America
Love lots from India ❤
Thank you ❤️
Love the video... hopefully I make it to isreal one day🙏
You totally should come here!
Where did you go to college/university?
I went to Brandeis for undergrad and William & Mary for law school
Agree on your view, but there's is not school like MIT where I studied Israel may have ok Universities but you can't compare with Ivey League School.
I disagree. Israel has some of the best universities in the world at a fraction of the cost and many Ivy League schools are overrated, especially for the price. For example, professors who teach at NYU and Columbia also teach the same courses at the local city college in NYC. My brother also went to MIT and my other brother went to Princeton. I’d much rather my children go to university in Israel then to any Ivy League university personally. The price for value is a much better deal.
Technion and Jerusalem U are on par with MIT without a doubt
Hahaha..you're sweet but i must also question whether we are living in the same world[or country for that matter]. I am a returning citizen after 30 years in Australia and i am going through the same experiences as you as far as re-establishing myself over here. I have listened to a couple of your videos and it made me giggle a little when you mentioned how cheap it is here[i think you said you only spent $70 per month on food? You must be living on croutons lol] I think there could be a couple of reasons. One: You are still in the honeymoon period of absorption and Two: You ae making far more income than the average Israeli.[Average wage between 8-10k P.M]
I still don't understand the value of shekels as i am still used to Australian Dollars therefore i have to convert prices to Oz$ in order to understand the value of things and let me tell you, this country is so friggn expensive it is quite scary. Rents to income ratio is scary[more than 50%], car costs are insane, lack of competition makes prices of groceries twice as expensive as in Oz[and Oz is quite expensive]. Nevertheless, it is very interesting to hear about someone else's experience maybe from a higher echelon, but you can also build quite a lot of hype for people who aren't as high who might think that this is a paradise, it is not. It is very hard to survive here and unless you have a big "minus"[the term we use to describe overdraft], it is very hard to finish the month[wait till you have kids lol] .
I guess i am still used to the politeness and courtesy of Aussies which i definitely didn't find here[particularly on the roads lol..have you driven here yet?], to me it is a pressure pot with never ending rudeness and lack of courtesy in caparison hahaha...nonetheless, a challenge i am willing to take on as a single guy with no kids, debt, or other imprisoning obligations:)
I sincerely wish you all the best of time and easy absorption into this manic world:)
I’m from NYC so I’m comparing it to that. NY drivers are way more crazy and people in NYC are more rude so here they’re honestly really nice in my opinion hahah. Just goes to show it’s all relative 😂 and yes, I make a good salary. I also had an asterisk in that video where I said I spent $70 on food and under the asterisk by the miscellaneous $200 charge I couldn’t identify, I mentioned that some of that $200 was probably food. I also eat very little naturally. If I go out to a restaurant, that dish can last me 2-3 meals. I don’t have kids yet, so none of those costs. I’m fortunate to have a good job and cheap rent, I totally agree! My experience is just mine but I totally recognize many don’t have the same experience! I also split bills with my fiancé!
Cool. I had no idea you are a lawyer.
It surprises most people because I guess I look younger than I am hahaha
@@miriamstrauss what kind of lawyer are you? I like following very knowledgeable people.
@@phazon100 I’m a corporate lawyer. I work in house.
i disagree. i think the people in israel are as competitive as in the us. i know that's what people there believe about themselves but i lived there 10 years and i disagree.
I guess I was comparing it to NYC rather than USA generally because that's my biggest reference point. Compared to NYC, people have much more semblance of a life here.
@@miriamstrauss That seems like a better comparison to me for some reason.
Sorry, didnt mean to end on that note.
What do you think a city center and also a suburb Haifa apt might cost?
Shalom
No worries ! I don’t know as much about Haifa prices. I just know it’s beautiful there. It also depends on how many rooms you want in the apartment. From what I understand though, Haifa is MUCH more affordable than Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. My husband says a 120 square meter 5 room apartment in a central area in Haifa with a view of the sea is about 2.3 Million shekel (approximately $650,000 in USD).
Oh wow
Thank you for that information. Does your husband know what the rent might be on an apt like that?? Thanks
Oh wow
Thank you for that information. Does your husband know what the rent might be on an apt like that?? Thanks
@@ralphlinville6646 according to yad2 (the website where people post homes for rent and sale, it’s about 5,000-6,000 shekel per month for the same type of apartment. To put it into perspective, that same apartment in Tel Aviv would cost at least 3 or 4 times the price in rent.
Wow- wen are you guys moving to Haifa!! Ha ha. Thank younso much for looking that up for me- Appreciate you!
How is it going now ?
I'm actually positing a new video in the next day or two explaining all of my costs living in Israel now! I moved, bought a home, and we have a baby on the way so my living expenses have changed a lot. Stay tuned and watch the video when I post it if you'd like to see a more recent update!
@@miriamstrauss congratulations for the baby
In the future, Decentralized Autonomous organizations or Decentralized businesses are the future.
Hope you research smart contracts. The blockchain space needs lawyers.
Not a bad idea! Maybe I will!
@@miriamstrauss I guess you could create content focused on the legal aspects of the blockchain. There might be opportunity.
You have like my comment in the value tainment channel and that's why I came to your channel and I had subscribe your channel
Wow! Thank you so much! you are the sweetest :)
You are most welcome I am also working on UA-cam channel and this is just the local real estate information channel and can you tell me please what type of editing software should be good and genuine
@@Gurpreet-je2jc I use Adobe premier. I have the link in the description of my videos
Hey I would to do an episode with you if are interested ?
Dm me on insta!
@@miriamstrauss ok what is your Instagram thanks so much
@@UnconventionalMoney its @powerhoustrauss
@@miriamstrauss Yes I messaged you please check thanks for your time
I miss Israellll
Come back to visit soon! Things are starting to open up more now!
Lebanon or Egypt need to build condos near the Israeli border asap. This can create commuters and development for the region.
That’s a really interesting idea! As relations strengthen in the Middle East, it would be a cool thing to see a world in which that type of economy existed between Middle Eastern countries. I’d love to see a “Middle Eastern Union” some day between Israel and its allies in the Middle East
Hey, im really happy about your decisions and wish you and your diancee the best!
Im a Christian man and i think id like to retire in Haifa/ Galilee. Im also a gay ( please dont think Christianity and being gay are mutually exclusive). God willing, i woulsnt mind joining with a Christian arab osraeli; God willing.
I don’t think they are mutually exclusive! Just like being Jewish and gay isn’t mutually exclusive :)
Most states will tax your income earned in that state even if you are not a resident
My name is Aryan I want to go to your country but I don't know the people of your country I need your help help
Hey! You can dm me on instagram! Not sure if I can help, but happy to listen!
😉👍👍👍❤💙💛

But New York is very expensive you would save more in Texas or Florida, I’ve lived in Israel everything is super expensive from groceries to rent and to buy a house, but if you’re a religious Jew I understand that you have to live in a religious area so you can get kosher food and private school for kids but you really can’t buy land like you can in America and most people in Israel live in apartments which is not so appealing to me. And you don’t have Amazon or stores like Walmart which makes life way easier and more convenient Israel is really not convenient at all other than the public transportation
This is true but depends on priorities. My priority is having a sense of community and a good education system and healthcare system for my children. America is easier to shop and consume stuff with easy to access shopping centers and online retailers, but I’m not big on consumerism. Israel makes me consume less and save more because I just don’t buy the stuff from Walmart and Amazon that I otherwise would have. I don’t buy the more expensive alternatives in Israel either. I actually come to america twice a year with an empty suitcase and stick up in new clothes from TJ maxx and I only let myself shop for clothes twice a year. Then I buy toiletries here in Israel but I only buy what I need and I don’t buy the millions of “cheap” Garbage stuff I don’t actually need off Amazon. Plus, Amazon now delivers to Israel if your cart is $50 or over anyways, but if it’s less than $75 you won’t pay a customs fee so it makes me really budget my Amazon spending, which is nice. Not to mention, I don’t mind paying more for a home in a place where the (a) the home will likely continue to increase in value so it’s a good investment; (b) you can house hack and have a tenant help you pay your mortgage; (c) these days many people are bringing remote jobs from abroad to Israel so I for example am making an American salary while living in Israel and also salaries are increasing a lot here anyways, especially in high tech; and (c) the community is is better here and my children will have access to more resources like a solid free education and really great healthcare. In America, people pay 50K a year for a child to go to elementary school or high school. That’s per child, per year. It’s wild. Healthcare is equally insane. I used to pay $700 a month for healthcare when I was self employed and a significant amount when I had a great job with good benefits. I’m not a religious Jew, but I also find that the community here is much more connected to eachother. I lived in america my whole life and it was dam near impossible to build lasting friendships and deep connections. People are so transient, moving all over from one place to the next in a large country and never keeping in touch, plus people care more about shallow consumerism and having the bigger better car, house, etc. than they do about making a deep personal connection and finding people who share common values and ideologies. My friends used to go out to party and drink. Here my friends go to do BBQs in their back yards and go for hikes or to the beach or to the dog park and people really discuss life and share personal stories and you build a genuine connection. People also really value family and culture and taking time away from work here. The culture is so much more rich. I also don’t feel a need to keep up with Joneses here, which I love. For all of those reasons, I don’t mind paying a little more for some things to live here. I think you pay more in some respects, but you get more value out of life than what you do in america for things you pay more for.
ua-cam.com/video/_tjM2-sOG78/v-deo.html talks about education cost for kids, as if it is expensive also, at least for young ones. Also, seems like high tax to be expected after the 10 years, based on this video I mentioned
Whenever I see comparisons of cost of living in Israel as compared to Manhattan, I think: I can't afford to live in Manhattan! And I can't afford to live in Israel and certainly not in the central desirable area.
Hahaha I’m starting to feel that way more and more as I grow up!
Would love to visit Israel 🇮🇱
You totally should!
Must be nice to have a country for your people...but my people are not allowed that.
I believe everyone should have a safe place on this earth ❤️

Mam Can I Ask You a Question?👇
What's The Secret Of Your Beauty And Your intelligence?😊
You’re so sweet 😇 my intelligence comes from many years of education and a culture that values education. My beauty is in part due to my parents I guess but also due to my efforts to take care of myself ❤️
@@miriamstrauss Wow😊
I like your video I want to give Israel and can you meet me
Thank you for watching!
Wow...you fiance is gorgeous 😍...

Hi how u doing
I’m good!! How are you?
Hi iam from India please visit my place if u like ... beautiful place ...God's own country
Can I still move to Israel 🇮🇱 and get those benefits if I’m not Jewish? I’m Hispanic
Unfortunately, no :( but you should come for a visit! It’s lovely!
Many hispanics have Jewish Sephardic heritage. Before the inquisition, spain was 70% Jewish, many became catholic. May be worth investigating.
@@alb12345672 good point!! So true!
I am jew I want to move to Israel.... I hear they will pay your plane ticket help with school and apartment? I am poor and I live in USA in South carolina
Google a company called Nefesh B’Nefesh. Start an application on their website and in in a few days they will assign you an Aliyah advisor to help you with your application and answer all your questions. Yes, they give many benefits when you make Aliyah. Some include: (1) a free ticket to israel, (2) roughly 800 USD (2,500 shekel) per month for the first 6 months you live in israel, (3) if you are younger than 30 years old, they will pay for you to do a masters degree here (but in general, college and master’s programs are much cheaper here anyways), (4) free healthcare for a year (and if you have a job after that year, healthcare is automatically built in to the tax withholdings in your pay, as is pension and other benefits), (5) small subsidy on rent for a few months after you’ve lived here for a certain period (but this isn’t going to cover your full rent, it’s fairly small). There’s also other benefits. Check out Nefesh B’Nefesh website for more details.
What about war?
It doesn't happen often. In 23 years I experience that in 2006. We run to shelters ( same like in here with tornados every year)
@@sunnysideup2102 media makes it seem more sketchy than it truly is then!
@@Parjesh888 it does. I lived in israel 23 years and in the USA 11 years. In the USA I'm a teacher and go to work afraid of being shot...
Agree with SunnySide Up! I grew up in NYC in the inner city where you heard gun shots in the street and there was lots of crime. Israel doesn’t have things like that. It has random terror attacks but they are so much more rare than the crime incidents in America and the defense system in Israel is also designed to neutralize those attacks swiftly. People are also generally better trained on gun safety and proper defense here and they screen people more before they can have a gun. I feel much safer living in Israel
Madam more beach vlogs you looking always preety
