The land of milk and honey

I called the Aliyah Center at the Jewish Federation and made it official. I opened a tik so now the Aliyah Center knows who I am and will have my information on file. The man on the phone asked me many questions. “Where will you live?”

Me: “I’m not sure yet.”

Aliyah man: “What will you do there?”

Me: “I don’t know. Work for a museum; go to school; work for a youth program; live on a kibbutz.”

Aliyah man: “Ehhh. hmm.”

So I guess I have a lot to figure out. A lot of plans and decisions to make. I’m not frightened yet, but I can sense feeling overwhelmed relatively soon. I asked about taking a Hebrew class here before leaving. The Aliyah man said the only option is online ulpan. I find that hard to believe since there are a ton of universities and synagogues here.

I hope I’m happy and in control and just able to speak Hebrew competently.
