If you are like thousands of others who always held a soft spot in your heart for Israel but never made Aliyah, as you reach retirement age, Aliyah is now more of a possibility. In fact, thousands of people around the world are making the same decision as you are. Some are looking for a retirement village in Jerusalem, some would like a retirement home near the sea.
People looking to retire to Israel are making that decision for many different reasons. It could be to be closer to children and grandchildren, better weather (no shoveling snow), excellent and affordable healthcare or because anti-Semitism is growing at an alarming pace and are concerned that the days in the “Goldene Medina” are limited.
Israel offers a very different way of life for Jews who grew up abroad. Retiring in Israel means that you are no longer a “stranger in a strange land”, you are home. The transition can be challenging, but know that you are not the first and that there are thousands of other who have chosen to retire in Israel.
