Looking for American families with teens (and younger children) looking to make aliyah this summer...

How old are your kids?
Where do you plan on moving to?
What schools?
Where are you moving from?
How do your kids feel about the move?

Would love to connect and hear what your plans are...

I don't think this website is the place to find people. There is so much negativity when it comes to this topic from people who have zero interest in making aliyah.

I found a lot of support on whattsapp. I was part of an amazing group of people all making aliyah at a similar time and facing the same challenges together.

It would be nice if we could discuss this without going back to extreme arguments.

So we are not charedi nor would I consider us American Yeshivish. My husband is a YU grad to paint a picture. I think with my kids ages that is very helpful. From what I hear it is an easier transition in terms of schooling. I can't think of greater nachas than my sons in a Hesder program which is learning and IDF.

If you haven't done so yet, find a nice DL Anglo place and you'll be doing beautifully, most likely. I have met lots of American families who did.

I'm not Anglo and made Aliyah as a single, so on both points I don't qualify for OP's thread.

This is a group from FB called Israel Communities Info for Anglo Olim (from Nefesh B'nefesh.)
You can write and ask your questions and families will write back.

DH and I have been discussing making aliyah this year. One child, under 1yo.

No plans yet, no jobs, not much to move with... a "leap of faith," as they say.

Just worried about leaving (or even breakung the news to) my very attached family, who have zero interest in moving to Israel (not even Jewish - I'm geiret).
