Pilot Trip

A pilot trip is a great way to explore life in Israel before making Aliyah. This category is dedicated to helping future olim plan their visit, maximize their time, and gather the information they need to make informed decisions. Here, you can ask for advice on the best cities to visit based on your lifestyle, job opportunities, and community preferences. Learn about short-term rental options, budgeting for your trip, and scheduling meetings with Nefesh B’Nefesh, The Jewish Agency, or potential employers. Discuss important aspects like checking out schools, healthcare facilities, and public transportation. Get tips from those who have done a pilot trip—what worked, what they would do differently, and what they learned. Whether you’re visiting for a few days or a few weeks, this forum is the place to plan an effective and insightful trip to prepare for your Aliyah journey.
