What’s your video I can’t say maybe 5 or 6 times! What I’d like you to acknowledge is that your information is a year old the ones that I’m feeding you right now or more recent. Just cut copy paste and edit or do you like what you think is right for your area these I think are coming from Tel Aviv and other areas around Israel where the average is! Update give the averages around Israel I appreciate it I’ve got a lot of work into finding the information…..
It’s cost ridiculously too expensive in US you make much more money and you can live for a half a price. In israel people working for three weeks just to pay the rent.
You can definitely live in some places in America for half the price, but NYC, LA, and other more popular places in America cost more I think (but you do also get paid more in most cases so that’s true)
Your comments are interesting. I live as a retiree my rent is $1260 I pay no bills it’s includes phone and includes free apps free wifi free cable free electric free water free sewer. I get a free breakfast which can be anything from eggs to potatoes to cereals to pancakes to etc.. And I have a full kitchen I have microwave full oven full-size icebox grill kitchen bathroom shower bath toiletries included two beds meaning air-conditioning everything table kitchen it’s small but comfortable.that’s living in a city of 5Millions in the southern area of the United States! I love Israel spent half my life there but I don’t think I can live there with my income a little round $1100. Dollars. My question for you is where is the cheapest place to live in the south comparable to what I’m paying now of Israel?
That sounds like a great deal you have! I’m not sure of the cheapest places to live in israel but I do know the Be’er Sheva is much cheaper than other major cities and Haifa is cheaper than Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Woah!!! I'm Kurdish and it's scary how much we look alike LOL girl... you're my doppelganger. When I saw your pic on the thumbnail I had to click straight away, haha!
I left Israel yesterday for good after 20 years living there , didn’t see myself evolving financially even tho I’m an independent renovator / electrician I had enough paying 45-50 percent income tax, moved to Greece and now I’m investing in real estate & living the dream 😅
Each person has their own journey! I don't mind paying such high taxes because I feel I'm getting something for it here in Israel, but in NYC I felt like I got nothing for the taxes I paid so to each their own! Good luck in Greece!
@@miriamstrauss yes my friend is from Slovenia and she says the same thing. Its very safe and everything is so easy, school is free. But school isn't free in Israel. hehe I would like to move there! I've visited twice.

I really like your cuts between sentences and how fast you get to the point! Keep up the good work. The only feedback I have is to script or practice before final shoot to lower the number of cuts in the middle of sentence. 👊🏼💪🏼👍🏼
I totally agree with you here! Just started being consistent about 2 months ago and am slowly learning to be better with scripting and doing practice runs before filming. It takes practice but I'm a quick study, so I know it will just get better and better over time. I appreciate the feedback and you subscribing and seeing the potential in this channel! Thank you a million ❤❤❤
@@EnforcerMan Thanks!! I'm quickly seeing that but it's nice to see things slowly grow and I'm at the stage where I really count every sub and each view and it all means the absolute world to me!
My payments are supposed to be made each month for 10 years so with interest more than $200,000 USD. This is typical in America and the standard cost for university and graduate schools in america. Actually I got a scholarship so I saved $100,000 and it would have cost me even more money without the scholarship.
I’ve thought about studying for a graduate course in Israel , but I was worried about bush fires and rockets hitting the Haifa/Tel Aviv area . One of my friends got injured by shrapnel in N Israel , but couldn’t afford the medical care and returned to Sweden .
That’s very sad about your friend. Israel isn’t for everyone, but for many there is no other place on earth we would rather be even with rockets raining down on us. In north Israel though it is very difficult right now. I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to be there right now. But I am surprised your friend didn’t have medical coverage. Are they not a citizen? All citizens would have. And if they were a tourist or on a student visa, I’d expect they would have travel health insurance. Also, I think the government covers expenses for damages relating to terror attacks so they probably would have covered it anyway
I am yet to see a 50m² studio apartment in Tel Aviv. What you usually find is rarely bigger than 25-30m² since in 99% cases it's just bigger flats divided by the landlord into several tiny studios.
Omg I’m so happy I moved here. I feel so much more at peace in life. Kibbutz life sounds cool! We will have to connect and talk more. What’s ur Instagram?
HI MIRIAM ,, I AM LEARNING ABOUT SHEKLES TO USA MONEY I AM FROM BOSTON ,, I HAVE BEEN TO ISRAEL MANY TIMES , BUT I BELIEVE SOME HAVE CHANGED .. THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO TO LEARN FROM I LOVE THE OLD CITY AND STAYED FOR A MONTH ..ITS BEEN A WHILE I WOULD LIKE MOVE THERE ONE DAY.. I KNOW THE CITY WELL ISRAEL IS HOME TO ME SHALOM,, TODAH!!!!
Love. Love. Love your video. The fruits and vegetables there are they filled with pesticides and GMO, because here in America was diagnosed with gastritis and it seems everything I eat hurts my stomach.
I don’t believe so - everything is mostly grown locally and it’s a small country so not as big a need for preservatives (america uses lots of preservatives to be able to ship things cross country which takes a long time because it’s a big country)
Well the student loans are for a degree that qualifies me to earn a high income. If I had a lower income, I wouldn’t have taken out the student loans so it’s kind of a catch 22 hahah
I explain the rent in the second half of the video. I mostly buy only vegetable, eggs and milk. I don’t buy clothes in Israel. I buy clothes only when I visit america.
That's a personal question to ask yourself. For me personally, there is nowhere on earth I feel safer to be a jew. The center of the country is mostly stable in terms of security, but the southern and northern regions are closer to the conflict and less secure. But at any point things can escalate. In general, most people living in Israel can live an ordinary and safe life right now as long as you don't go too far north.
The Aliyah money isn’t enough to live. And after they cut you off with no help that’s what they did to me. The jobs pay too low to survive there unless you are very rich or have a good business.
The Aliyah isn’t meant to be enough money to live on. It’s just supposed to be a bit of extra money to help with the transition. I agree that some jobs don’t pay so well here but that has been changing quite a bit in the last 2 years! I think salaries will continue to go up at a rapid pace. Some industries like high tech and M&A or finance make really good money. I work for a foreign company as an American lawyer and I make pretty good money relative to average salaries in Israel.
@@datingandlifeadvicechannel7534 the company doesn’t have offices in Israel currently. I advise their american team on american law. I just do it from my home in Israel remotely.
Thanks for the video! When you mentioned ‘groceries’ for $80/mo are you including meat, chicken , cheese & eggs or just veggies. Im a Christian and so there is no Law of Return for me - wish israel offered a retirement visa. Im thinking about Haifa: what do you think a 1 bdrm apt w/ utilities would be ciry center & suburbs. Im single. Shalom
I had some text on the screen at a later moment explaining that I also had miscellaneous charges of $121 and that was probably also groceries. so it was really like $200 in groceries most likely. It only included a bit of protein (eggs, a little meat) but not much. I buy all of the produce, veggies, fruits, grains, milk, etc. and my husband buys the protein because he's a bigger protein eater and is more picky and likes to go to his butcher. So this is my personal out of pocket costs for the month because my husband and I keep our finances entirely separate. But, I also would have spent less on produce if I didn't also buy for him, so on average I think $200 seems close to what I would have spent just living alone in that month anyways. Nowadays though, I do spend a bit more. I'll be doing an updated video when we move to Ramat Gan in a few months so stay tuned for that. My expenses have increased quite a bit. Also, if you are American you can be here on a travel visa for 3 months at a time and if you take a brief break and leave briefly, then come back - the clock resets. So as long as you don't need to work or a work visa, you can spend huge chunks of your retirement here if you had a seasonal home. I'm not familiar with Haifa rental prices, but they have a big Christian community there so it sounds lovely for you!
Student loans are *not* compulsory. They are loans that you can take out to pay for university or graduate school (which is crazy expensive in America)
Sometimes at Osher Ad, but there is also a great produce market in Kiryat Hayovel that kind of looks like a small warehouse and they usually have really good prices on produce. I don't know the name of it but it is in the main square at Kiryat hayovel, on the side of the square that faces Golomb street.
wow only 72 usd (~230 nis ) on groceries, where are you shopping? I spend at least that and usually more in reg. small shopoping trips, when I do a big shop its upwards of 1200-1500 nis (or more. This is in Jerusalem for myself. Btw there's also a way to lower your student low payment significantly, as long as you're working and earning outside of the US. If you can significantly reduce your AGI (which can be done via tax exemptions) you can apply for an income-based payment schedule - I'm not an accountant but this was brought to my attention by an accountant helping file my US return. Maybe something to look into for a future video
I don’t like income based repayment because the interest will swallow you and you will be paying the rest of your life. Back when I only had to pay $800 based on my income per month, I actually would choose to pay $1500-$2000 per month because the interest is so high. Currently the interest is zero though so I’m not paying until I have to or the interest goes back up.
Can you tell me what the cost of living is in a Modern Orthodox community? As well as other expenses? We are seniors so is there an area where it wouldn't be too expensive? I wrote this to you in January 2022 so if you can do a breakdown I will appreciate it. Today Rabah
I'm not familiar with many orthodox communities and the costs of living in them, but it depends on city and it can widely vary. It's tough to say. Also, it depends on the size of the place you are looking for any many other factors.
I’m pure Ashkenazi as far back as my family can trace - primarily German Jewish and Polish Jewish, although my fathers side did have family from the Alsace Lorraine region which was a disputed territory between France and Germany for many years. Also, my mother is Mexican by birth but not by blood, but that’s only because her parents were both Polish Jews who escaped to Mexico during the Holocaust so I don’t have any Mexican blood but I do love the culture.
@@stlouisix3 We have some really fascinating stories, for sure. Just knowing their stories and the stories of others during that time taught me at a young age that I am cut from the same cloth as a group of people who have immeasurable strength. Whenever life is difficult, I remember that and I have confidence that I have the strength to get through it.

Aww thanks. If my channel gets to 1K subscribers, I might start a separate channel for behind the scenes life and vlogging and then I could do a video on that topic there!
@@miriamstrauss That would be interesting keep up the good work you have a nice style and for sure I am willing to bet others would like to know your hair routine you are talented
at the age of 39 I was still not able to buy an apartment in Israel (even with a high tech paycheck ) then we relocated to the US and bang after a year we got a family house of our own :-) housing in Israel is pure gouvernment scam they keep housing expensive to get more pennies on taxes by not allowing new constructions to keep up with shyrocketing population growth :-)
Israel doesn't have the amount of land mass that US has and government owns over 90% of land so they decide what's developed/built. There is also over 55,000 per year of new immigrants coming in and most want to live in Jerusalem/Tel Aviv. That drives up cost.
They waive the import taxes on up to two shipping containers of household goods only, but you still have to pay the shipping containers. I had no furniture, only clothes/stuff that fits in a suitcase so the shipping container didn't make financial sense for me.
@@miriamstrauss Miriam thank you so much for your information I will do that I am going to Israel on June for a whole month I am taking my son with me I hope we can’t meet for coffee or at least to have a friend over there I already have a friend Mary and Alfredo one is Mexican and Alfredo is from Argentina They are amazing Oh Mirian thanks again Keep making videos live theme Take care
Yes! You should reach out to an organization called Nefesh B'nefesh. They help you with the entire application. You can google them and check out their website. it has lots of helpful information about all of the benefits that you would receive if you make aliyah. Once you start your application, they assign you an advisor that you can reach out to with questions and who helps you with the process. It's a bit of paperwork and takes 4-6 months to complete the process, but it's totally worth it!
What a joke and the average salary in israel cost the same as rent snd they only pay you once a month and you have to work 6 days a week. This lady seems like she has rich parents and do nothing.
I think minimum wage is about 25 shekel per hour, which is about 8 dollars per hour at current exchange rates. However, most people can find a job for about 35 shekel per hour or even more.
Yad2 is the only website people use here. It’s in Hebrew so I recommend visiting it from Google chrome and using the chrome translation extension to translate things to English

No way the food is way more expensive than that. The food would cost a min of 400 a month
I eat pretty small portions and pretty basic food! I also did mention that there were some miscellaneous charges which probably were for food!
Agreed! I have been told Israel is very expensive mainly housing and food!
Yes it’s more like 75-100 per week so 3-400 a month for food unless you are eating somewhere else.
It’s cost ridiculously too expensive in US you make much more money and you can live for a half a price. In israel people working for three weeks just to pay the rent.

@@alexsimler thanks. The good news is that 20,000 in student loans should get forgiven for me under the new laws!
Why would a bank charge $2/month but neglect to give a proper itemized record of transactions?

Can you tell me what the cost of living is in a Modern Orthodox community? As well as other expenses? We are seniors so is there an area where it wouldn't be too expensive? I wrote this to you in January 2022 so if you can do a breakdown I will appreciate it. Today Rabah
I'm not familiar with many orthodox communities and the costs of living in them, but it depends on city and it can widely vary. It's tough to say. Also, it depends on the size of the place you are looking for any many other factors.
Nefesh B'Nefesh has a guide to rent costs broken down by cities and towns which may be helpful.
Hi there!..... so, does that monthly allowance apply to other Americans? and, if so, how long does that run for? . Thank you 😊 🙏
It applies to any Jews who moves to Israel from outside of Israel.
Thank you, from Argentina!
You're welcome
Good morning I am planning to look for a job in Israel how can you advice me how to do it. I am a South Africa living in South Africa.
How much for rent?
I don't pay rent currently, but I do talk about the cost of rent in the two largest cities towards the last third or so of the video!
Where's your ancestry from, Miriam? Are you purely Ashkenazim?
I’m pure Ashkenazi as far back as my family can trace - primarily German Jewish and Polish Jewish, although my fathers side did have family from the Alsace Lorraine region which was a disputed territory between France and Germany for many years. Also, my mother is Mexican by birth but not by blood, but that’s only because her parents were both Polish Jews who escaped to Mexico during the Holocaust so I don’t have any Mexican blood but I do love the culture.
@@miriamstrauss I'm glad your zayda & bubby escaped Poland's Holocaust & USSR communism.
All their stories must be intriguing!
@@stlouisix3 We have some really fascinating stories, for sure. Just knowing their stories and the stories of others during that time taught me at a young age that I am cut from the same cloth as a group of people who have immeasurable strength. Whenever life is difficult, I remember that and I have confidence that I have the strength to get through it.
Shalom I'm from Philippines I'm just new here , I found your topics so helpful and interesting.. my question is how can I avail the cell 10.90$ or the phone load...I hope you noticed me...Thank you very much and Good luck 🙏

I would 100% recommend it. It’s a magical and very historical and beautiful place ❤️💯

@@UnconventionalMoney this comment made my day :) thank you so much
What about housing costs. Get to the point !
I discussed rent costs! Maybe you missed it.
at the age of 39 I was still not able to buy an apartment in Israel (even with a high tech paycheck ) then we relocated to the US and bang after a year we got a family house of our own :-) housing in Israel is pure gouvernment scam they keep housing expensive to get more pennies on taxes by not allowing new constructions to keep up with shyrocketing population growth :-)
I plan to do a video on housing in Israel! Agree it’s a really difficult think to buy a home here!
It is not a scam, it is called a free market.
In Canada it is a scam
Israel doesn't have the amount of land mass that US has and government owns over 90% of land so they decide what's developed/built. There is also over 55,000 per year of new immigrants coming in and most want to live in Jerusalem/Tel Aviv. That drives up cost.
Wow that explicitly nice of you. Can I get a job in Israel if I come with visit visa and presently am working in UAE 🇦🇪.
Thanks! I don’t know how work visas are handled in Israel so I’m not sure but must be fun to work in the UAE! Are you in Dubai?
I thought Israel pays for Olim to ship their belongings to Israel. Taking everything piecemeal sounds rather cumbersome.
They waive the import taxes on up to two shipping containers of household goods only, but you still have to pay the shipping containers. I had no furniture, only clothes/stuff that fits in a suitcase so the shipping container didn't make financial sense for me.
Rent is high but other expenses are reasonable.
Yes, agreed. Except gas/petrol is high as well, I just don’t drive much :)
Please mam tell Israel salary per month labor
It depends on the industry and ones experience. Some salaries are pretty low, but others quite high. What type of role would you like to know about?
How much apt
It depends where!
Hi Miriam I love your video
What did you do to become an Israeli citizen ??
Please share with me
I want to move over there
If you are Jewish, search for the website for Nefesh B’Nefesh. It’s an organization that helps Jews move here.
@@miriamstrauss
Miriam thank you so much for your information I will do that
I am going to Israel on June for a whole month I am taking my son with me I hope we can’t meet for coffee or at least to have a friend over there I already have a friend
Mary and Alfredo one is Mexican and Alfredo is from Argentina
They are amazing
Oh Mirian thanks again
Keep making videos live theme
Take care
Is it true as American isreal will help me make aliaya??? I want to immigrate to isreal. I am jew surviving grandson of a holocaust survivor
Yes! You should reach out to an organization called Nefesh B'nefesh. They help you with the entire application. You can google them and check out their website. it has lots of helpful information about all of the benefits that you would receive if you make aliyah. Once you start your application, they assign you an advisor that you can reach out to with questions and who helps you with the process. It's a bit of paperwork and takes 4-6 months to complete the process, but it's totally worth it!
looking for cost of living in Eilat
I think Eilat is cheaper than the rest of Israel. There is no sales tax in Eilat and rent is a bit cheaper.
I enjoyed it! 😘👍 My late father visted Isreal, he loved it...❤
You should visit too!!!
@@miriamstrauss I'd love that... What a great and Blessed country you have😁💛
Why did you leave America ? Maybe make a video on this if you haven’t 😊
Good idea!! I think I will 😇 thanks for the tip 👍🏻 I hope you subscribe and stick around for more videos from me ❤️
So what is currency exchanged rate?
3.1 USD to the shekel. It used to be 3.7 USD to the shekel before covid but the dollar is losing value with inflation 😢
Happy belated
Thank you so much
No cheap but worth it
I agree!
💕💕
Thank you for the love!!
This was very informative Miriam. Thumbs up from a fellow creator 😅
Thanks so much ❤️ I’ve got a new video I am in the midst of editing and coming soon ;) hope you subscribe and stick around. 😇
What a joke and the average salary in israel cost the same as rent snd they only pay you once a month and you have to work 6 days a week. This lady seems like she has rich parents and do nothing.
I don’t have rich parents. You can watch my most recent video about how I grew up poor. I also don’t do nothing. I’m a lawyer.
Maybe you can move back to NYC, say you are a refugee. You will get the same benefits :lol:
Cheaper than the Netherlands :)
I hear that the Netherlands can be pretty pricey!
I’m moving to israel!
Haha you should!!
Maybe for you I will
@@82powpow Let me know if you do! I'll give you some recommendations!
@@miriamstrauss thank you!!!
@@miriamstrauss how can I message you on here?
"One point four thousand" lol
Misss Israel and you!!! Love these videos 😍
Israel misses you too! And so do I 😇❤️
Lowest salary in israel
I think minimum wage is about 25 shekel per hour, which is about 8 dollars per hour at current exchange rates. However, most people can find a job for about 35 shekel per hour or even more.

Happy to discuss. Dm me on Instagram @powerhoustrauss. I can only give tips if you have Jewish heritage. I’m not personally familiar with other methods for getting work visas etc. so I wouldn’t be a big help on those fronts
