Live in Israel

I am currently re-considering moving there forever without having lived there for an extended amount of time. I plan to go back at least once by August 2010.

Actually, I’ve kinda dunnit… right now I live in Jerusalem, but the long term plan says it should be for good.

I’ll see if this means “make aliyah” or “live there for a few years.”

My primary reason for doing this is my love of Hebrew and certain aspects of Israeli culture. I need to make sure those are strong enough reasons for me.

i just wanna live there

I would love to visit Israel one day. Christians that have spent time in Israel always speak about THAT special “something” they feel when in Israel. As a Christian myself I would like to visit all those places that Jesus my Lord and Savior visited and experience that “something”. Awesome!!

Worth Doing – Nothing Like Living in Israel — 4 hours ago

Great warmth in the people, amazing history, truly diverse population from Arab to Jewish – from all over the world – Russia, Ethiopia, Western Europe, Morroco, Tunisia, Eastern Europe, South America…I could go on and on. Its a melting point similar to the US… pros and cons abound, but you cannot compare the experience of living in Israel to any other place in the world.

The people are tough on the exterior, with the warmest hearts you’ll ever experience. Raising kids here is special, neighborhoods are truly neighborhoods where kids can run in and out of each other’s homes. People know how to live and cherish life. They have a tough reality, but a great deal of energy, a zest and thirst for knowledge.

Hebrew is the language of the country – learn it. Not sure where to go to do it if you’re in the diaspora? Turn to the Israelis to teach you online or a local ulpan. Here are a few resources: http://ivritbivrit.blogsome.com/category/adult-ulpan/

...Done for two months during an intership abroad (summer 2006). One of the best (and hardest) experiences of my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better time to be there.

and it’s not so bad… :-)
