On Tuesday, July 19th, WUJS Tel Aviv and Jerusalem had an Aliyah
seminar day at the Young Judaea building in Jerusalem. It was full of
great information!
Here are some funny words of wisdom from Kate, the Assistant Director of Young Judaea Year-Course, about why she loves living
in Israel and why she's so happy that she made Aliyah.
Here are some funny words of wisdom from Kate, the Assistant Director of Young Judaea Year-Course, about why she loves living
in Israel and why she's so happy that she made Aliyah.Reasons Kate loves Israel:
1. Vegetables actually taste like vegetables.
2. Tomatoes are 3 shekels/kilo.
3. Israelis are rude and honest, not polite and false.
4. Israelis treat each other like family -- They might make you
cry when they scream at you in the middle of a traffic jam when they're
frustrated, but then they come right over and give you a tissue.
5. The pace of life is fun and interesting -- you can have someone hold
your spot in line while you go do another errand and then come back and
get your spot back.
6. Being a Jew is the majority.
And last but certainly not least...
7. There is no snow to shovel in the winter!
To
Kate, being in Israel is the "perfect fit." She compared it to when
you find the perfect shoe and then you buy it in every color and wear it
until it's completely worn out.
Kate advised that during your WUJS program, you
should try to figure out if you just have a crush on Israel...or are you
seriously in love? It should just feel right.

Everyone invited outside Israelis, Americans, and other international people we met during our time here who are also living in Tel Aviv. "We had an amazing time -- our roof was overflowing with people and it really helped us feel at home in Israel to be the hosts for the evening." - Jessica Fass
