For years, I gathered information and answered emails and provided encouragement to people who contacted me saying they wanted to come. But, then I found that a lot of those people were kidding themselves and me as well.<br /><br />A few years ago, I was working for a Jewish institution and got a call from someone in chu"l who started talking about how much she' d love to make aliyah but "just couldn't afford it." She sounded sincere and I - always eager to help - started explaining about all the possible options and encouraging her with personal details of my own aliyah. She sounded like she appreciated what I was telling her, but awhile after we hung up, my boss came down and said he had received a complaint. It was from this woman and as a result, I had to call her up and make an apology. It kind of put me off getting involved any more with people on the subject of aliyah. Plus a family I was close to who I had encouraged to come for years, gave up and went back after seven years. People who go back don't know what an impact it makes on those who are left behind. <br /><br />Aliyah can be a tough subject for everyone. But, what it comes down to is...it's a mitzvah.Devorah Chayahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625277197970920616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-48738278411608219852015-07-06T19:26:34.972+03:002015-07-06T19:26:34.972+03:00I have worked in high tech in Israel since I made ...I have worked in high tech in Israel since I made aliyah in 1993. After a recent search, I know from personal experience that the local job market for experienced developers is extremely robust right now. Tel Aviv and Haifa especially. Even Jerusalem has seen a noticeable uptick in entrepreneurial activity recently. Given the general trend of the dollar, getting paid in shekels is getting more attractive all the time.<br /><br />We all have own cheshbonos, but I have a difficult time understanding why there are so many frum Yidden who work in high tech and continue to live in chutz l'aretz.Shimshonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158609487960587917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-1045466196139190802015-07-06T19:18:22.528+03:002015-07-06T19:18:22.528+03:00@Neshama -- The Zohar says the erev-rav will fight...@Neshama -- The Zohar says the erev-rav will fight mashiach when he arrives, and you can pretty much guess what happens after that.<br /><br />TMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-28272800860232428532015-07-06T19:15:10.037+03:002015-07-06T19:15:10.037+03:00Sorry, forgot to address your first question.

Something raised up high as a sign. A whole lot of people did make aliyah in the wake of that event, just like a lot of people made aliyah when Hitler came to power. They didn't wait around to see how it would all turn out.Devorah Chayahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625277197970920616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-38930248951988816652015-07-06T18:43:34.738+03:002015-07-06T18:43:34.738+03:00This is one great post.

Did I miss a sentence? <br /><br />Also, about that 9/11 banner; please explain. While I was in lower Manhattan on 9/11 and witnessed much, I don't understand what you mean by a banner. Also, I was prepared to return to Eretz HaKodesh (before 1989), but I had to fulfill a tafkid that Hashem sent me, to bury my sister and then my Mother a"h (a making amends with my family) and getting my husband's agreement to live here, before even leaving. So, I understand when some say they cannot go because of 'obligations' that keep them in the Diaspora. However, they should definitely begin the process with NBN, which does take some time and actually creates emotional incentive.Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-84192552901511992672015-07-06T18:30:19.996+03:002015-07-06T18:30:19.996+03:00Some of you want to spread fairy tales like the Xi...Some of you want to spread fairy tales like the Xians do - telling people what sounds good and positive and loving to you, but even though it might make you feel better, it's not true.
