    I just converted and did not think about aliyah yet but some days ago I met with my Israeli friends here and when I told them I converted the first thing they told me the next step is do aliyah 😍😍😍😍 so I am now thinking about it who knows what the future will bring for me .

    I have been living in Israel since 2007. So, at the time of this post that would about 15 years. My Aliyah was perfect but only because I had a lot of preperations that I made beforehand. I made a five year plan for making Aliyah and two and half years into the plan I got a job offer here that sped things.
    One of the major advantages I had was that I found a job in my field before moved. I was told that that is something that doesn't happen to most people. I had to be resourceful in how I got it - and me knowing Hebrew was a part of it - but I also was faced with a lot of challenges in the job which I overcame. Also, because I had been here twice before I made Aliya made things easier.
    I also spoke Hebrew and read Hebrew before I got here which helped a lot since I didn't get a chance to take Ulpan to improve. I had to do it on my own. One thing I do know is that I know of people who took Ulpan and barely speak Hebrew. Meaning that a person has to be really driven to get themselves fluent even with the Ulpan.
    Other issues is that community is very important here. I have known people who have come here with lots of ideals only to have it all fall apart. So, being realistic with why you are coming, what your goals are, what your shortcomings are, and if you really know how to overcome challenges is important.
    Also, be aware that there are a lot sectors of Israel that are JUST LIKE THE US so there are some challenges you may face due to the fact that you are religious. Again, community and mastering the language can make this easier. Also, there are some Americans who make Aliyah and only are around other English speakers and they never get the language.
    The one mistake I would say that I made was not knowing early enough that I was going to make Aliyah and not saving up money to buy a place. When I first got here apartments in Jerusalem were fairly cheap but that changed within the first two years I had been here. If I had been smart I would have saved my money by living in New Jerseay rather than NYC before I came here. Also, if I had been looking at the Negev in the south of the country.
    All and all, I wouldn't trade living here for the world. Every time I have been outside of Israel within these last 15 years I have wanted to get back to Israel within two days. If you look at some of my earlier videos I talk about my Aliyah experience.

      But don't you have people at the synagogue with whom you can celebrate shabbat? Doesn't your rabbi help you? Haven't you told people about your plight? You need to communicate with others. If they don't help you, then you need to find a new synagogue.

    Good luck on your journey! Making Aliyah is difficult, but it is wonderful. The cost of living is high, there are plenty of challenges, but I wouldn't live anywhere else. Israel is the Jewish home, it's a the best place to be religious, and it's worth doing your research and adjusting your expectations. Behatzlacha!

    I’ve never lived in Israel, but I did move to Japan a few years ago so I can relate to a lot of your fears. It’s really the little things that pile up (not knowing what to buy in a grocery store, having trouble with paperwork, weird comments and stares) but after a while you start to get your footing. Moving abroad is hard for the first year. The second year gets easier, and by your 3rd year you’ve hit a stride. If you can get through the first year you can get though anything :)
    I also wanted to say that I so appreciate your videos! I am also a Black woman who is converting and when you popped up on my suggested videos I was like immediately YES. We are very different in a lot of ways, but I really needed to see your vids. I’m glad you’re here.

    Take your look-see, by all means! Be open- minded. As a visitor you can be blown away. We're attractive Jews of all hues & cultures, loud, opinionated, very westernized but with spicy Mediterranean overtones. Native born are 70% mainly secular, often anti-religious, left leaning. The National Religious faction - probably your association - are chiefly in and around Jerusalem and the ''West Bank''. Most American olim (immigrants)enjoy living together in communities. As noted, COL is very high, salaries are not. Yes, religion's accessible everywhere with a different style, less cushy, more community-centered vs American Jew synagogue-centered. I think you'll find it fascinating. Just remember to step out of your Americanism in order to taste the real deal. Enjoy!

      Due that the raising of hate towards Jews around the world I think that every Jew needs to support Israel.
      Not necessarily by living here but raise awareness of the situation. They act as they love Jews but they hate Israel. Before Israel was established they hated the Jews, they just found a better excuse.
      In the last years everything I saw online someone blames the Jews/ Israelis. There is discrimination against Muslims in Sweden they say it is because of Israel, Covid is because of the Jews. I have many examples of people that to justify their pure hate use fiction stories to blame the Jews/ Israelis.
      That's why Jews need to be United.

      Nonsense!
      Since the culture here in Israel has become somewhat Americanized you can find here and there some racist idiot. The prevailing opinion is that such people suffer from some mental problem and should be pitied. About two percent of Israeli citizens are Ethiopian Jews. There is a large community of East African asylum seekers whose status is illegal but because it is too dangerous for them to return to their countries of origin they are allowed to stay.
      Keep in mind that many times you will feel as if you are the only Israeli of African descent ...
