Question:
I really want to know more about what it is like to make Aliyah, the hardships, the time frame, was it hard to get a job in Israel. Where would a reconstructionist/reform Jew want to live? What about the Kibbutz option? Is learning Hebrew a real challenge, or does the Ulpan make it a lot easier? Will you be able to speak enough for business after Ulpan? What about jobs? I work in financial services as an investment advisor but my understanding is that in Israel financial services and banking is unionized and it's incredibly hard to get into is this right? Please give me any more info on Aliyah that you can. Personal experience would be great. Thanks!
