Obviously we know different people who’ve gone through different experiences so there is really no point in arguing, although I can say that I am very close with an individual who deals with kids at risk over here & he told me (aside for the fact that I see it with my own eyes) that over eighty percent of kids that he works with moved here between the ages of ten & twenty.
By the way, the Avnei Nezer & the Chayei Adam (I’m quoting from memory here) both say that it’s assur to move to Eretz Yisroel without parnassa lined up BEFOREHAND. Things have not changed in that regard (except for the fact that B”H nowadays people don’t actually die from hunger).
This is not a question of being like the meraglim or emphasizing the positive – it’s a question of informing innocent people that there is no inyan to move to Eretz Yisrael if it will (or even may) destroy your childrens lives. Remember – I didn’t say not to come – I just said that at that stage in your childrens lives, don’t come.

Why did you delete that??
I’ll try & say it in gentler language so you won’t delete it this time.
Don’t blindly accept the rosy view presented by Nefesh B’nefesh – as mammashtakeh says – do your own research!
Much better. Thank you! – YWN Moderator
