Just FYI, aliyah benefits don’t start from when you make aliyah. Your benefits start from when you step foot in Israel and start spending an extended amount of time in Israel. There are a certain amounts of months you are allowed to be in Israel during a certain time frame (for example, 18 months out of a total 3 years-these are NOT the correct numbers, you need to look this up on your own, I don’t remember what it is exactly). If you go over this time frame, you’ve lost a lot (not all) of your rights. You need to look into this before you decide to not make aliyah because of benefits being lost. You may end up shooting yourself in the foot. I know several people that have lost out on rights because of this logic. You don’t necessarily lose all benefits, but you’ll lose ones like a lift, etc. You get left with buying a few Israel made appliances, and a few other benefits.
