Years ago I had a friend who lived in Israel until he was in her early teens, moved to the US, got very well-educated, got an engineering PhD, moved back to Israel. She said back then – early 1970’s – that life is hard in Israel, but she wanted to live there. She was secular but she loved Israel and lives there to this day. If you are thinking that life in Israel is one long picnic – or maybe a long Kiddush or tisch – think again and stay in the US. You are not cut out for it.
