Said goodbye to my friend as she was going back home. Then off to work. From Harav Kook, Jerusalem, I took sherut to Tel Aviv Central Bus Station, cost 22 shekels, took 1 hour 20 minutes since the morning traffic in Tel Aviv was quite jammed. Arrived at the meeting point McDonalds 08.27 and this time everyone was almost on time. Again we had some new people in our group.
Heard rumors about oink flu at the big base.
Me and my team did voluntarily work one extra hour, we were good girls!
Here is our new group, we are from Australia, Finland, Belgium, South Africa, USA and Canada.
Time for our evening meeting! One of us was late and one did not show up at all. Hmm, guess for some it tooks few more weeks to know the schedule, ha ha. We were talking about Aliyah - Jewish immigration to Israel. History and beginning, how it is today and who can do it, what it takes to move into different country and what benefits will you get. No wonder there is so much immigration from poor countries... And most interesting part comes here: If you marry a Jewish you can live in Israel but you are not making Aliyah. If you come to Israel with visa you can not move into Israel and convert. You have to convert in your own country first and we know that is not easy thing to do. But if you are willing to go through with all that (takes one year minimum) they will pay your flight to Israel, you need to go to ulpan - hebrew language lessons for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 5 months. If you are under 30 they will educate you. There is also some benefits, like with apartment amenity, money, taxes and healt insurance.
