You are the Establishment, and that's awesome. God willing by me someday. :-)<br />My first husband and I talked about coming when we were first married, but since we didn't do it, I had my parents around while I was having kids. It was not the same blessing, but it was a HUGE blessing and I do feel sad for young couples who come here on their own who don't have parents and grandparents nearby...Tziviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828930310967808828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111375769586013316.post-72124768344855252492019-01-16T13:23:06.507-08:002019-01-16T13:23:06.507-08:00We made aliyah soon after our wedding, came young ...We made aliyah soon after our wedding, came young and dumb, and I never considered it difficult. Learning Hebrew was hard, but big deal. I never planned on working, though I ended up in all sorts of jobs. Gd willing just another year and a half and we'll hit the half century mark. Wow, we are ancient.

BUT the age and any other information / restrictions is subject to change at any time, so please check current info when you are making aliyah. From our experience, entitlements vary even between Canada and the U.S., so please check your individual situation as well.Tziviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828930310967808828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111375769586013316.post-3261527012713280142019-01-15T21:01:23.160-08:002019-01-15T21:01:23.160-08:00This is a well thought-out post.

You wrote "If you’re under 35, the Ministry of Aliyah will currently pay for the first degree you earn in Israel, either a Bachelor’s or Master’s, depending on whether you already have a degree." I was just wondering where you got the age 35 number? Because from what I've heard (via NBN) it's up to 30. Here's info copied from https://www.nbn.org.il/aliyahpedia/education-ulpan/higher-education/student-authority-tuition-benefits/ : "Students must begin studies for an undergraduate degree, practical engineering program and certificate studies before the age of 27.<br />Students must begin their studies for graduate degrees, certificated for undergraduates and re-training programs before the age of 30."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
