In just a short time one will realize that moving to Israel is one of the most difficult life changes to experience. As a matter of fact, almost all people who have made Aliyah never imagined the transition would be so drastic. Leaving behind family and friends, abandoning your job or career, and difficulty speaking a new language are just some of the issues an Oleh will have to face. Multiply this by the number of members in the family making the move to Israel, and you have a recipe for lots of stress.
Be prepared to compromise
Some people make a test stay in Israel of about a year before actually making Aliyah. Everyone who moves to Israel will experience a certain amount of disappointment from time to time. By spending some time in Israel beforehand, you can position yourself to be more prepared and therefore less disappointed when you do make the actual move. Financially supporting yourself and your family in Israel is a completely different story than making a living in America or Europe. Just the costs of the move itself can be a shock within itself.
A different country
It is important to keep a cool head throughout the process. Many people who move to Israel get an extra shock when they find out they have to work on Sundays. In Israel Sunday is the first day of the workweek. Long lines at government offices, total lack of customer service and non-existent quality assurance can make even the most stable of people lose it. It is important to keep in mind by moving to the Holy Land you are strengthening your bond with Hashem and the Jewish people. With material expectations aside, living in Israel can be very rewarding spiritually.
