I SERIOUSLY I have no time to sort through this mess. I, as I have mentioned before made aliyah with my family right before high school. We went by Nefesh Binefesh, that previous people mentioned were a big help.
There were-for the first year.
I don’t want to say any loshon hara, but l’toeles they weren’t very helpful after the first year at all. I don’t want to go into more detail, as it is loshon hara- but this is the truth and I want people making aliyah to hear our expirience a bit so they can decide for themselves.
Anothwr thing they did was push us up north. This was during their GO NORTH campaign as not many people make aliyah there and they wanted to up the population. The north is really nice but wasn’t for us. The people living up north they had put us in touch with sorta exaggerated on the “bustling community” in said city where they lived. That is not Nefesh Binefesh’s fault they exaggerated, but it put us through a lot of aggravation and in return we recieved no help from anyone moving to a place that better suited our family.
In the end though, 4 years later everything is much better. But if we hadn’t been told by all of our rabbanim to make the aliyah, and been told that we would make it better in Israel by daas torah, it would of prob. been a huge mistake.
We had older kids that made it, it is possible to make it. But every family should check if it is going to work for their kids and ask their rabbanim. Everyone is different.
