Before you leave your country, there are Nefesh B’Nefesh and the Jewish Agency.

Nefesh B’Nefesh offers an array of services and programs before and during your move, including pre-immigration seminars in North America, financial incentives for specific populations making Aliyah from different countries, guidance through the government bureaucracy and a series of activities to help acclimate on the ground.

The Jewish Agency also provides material aid in arranging personnel transport, temporary housing, Absorption Center processing for initial registration and access to social services such as schools and healthcare.

Utilizing the tools available from both organizations will enable Olim Chadashim to connect with others looking to make their home in Israel.

Plus, both of them have experienced staff who are knowledgeable about the process of moving to Israel and can help guide you through any issues that may arise. With their support, your transition and assimilation into life in Israel will be much more manageable.

Studying Hebrew at the Ulpan school

Studying Hebrew at the Ulpan school in Israel is a fantastic way to integrate oneself into Israeli society. This course is offered to everyone who regards Hebrew as their main language, providing them with an excellent opportunity to develop their communication skills. At the Ulpan school, one not only acquires the requisite level of language proficiency but also gets familiar with Israeli social and cultural topics. This way, newcomers will be confident and ready to start building a life within an Israeli community.

Decide whether you will want to study, work, or serve in the army after studying in Ulpan

When it comes to deciding how to take the next steps after learning Hebrew in an ulpan, potential Olim Chadashim to Israel have several options. Working, serving in the army and/or studying are all viable possibilities that come with their own unique advantages. Fortunately, numerous organizations provide assistance to newcomers, making these new life experiences easier to navigate. The Israel Defense Forces (the Army) offers you the ability to also study many subjects to prepare you to work in the high tech sector.
