Shalom everyone. Chava here, 24, single, from Baltimore. Modern Orthodox background — Beth Tfiloh community, studied at Stern College in New York, spent a year in seminary in Jerusalem after graduating. I have been back in Baltimore for two years working in nonprofit management and the pull to go back to Israel has only grown.
Applied through NBN four months ago. My documents were straightforward — Jewish by birth through both parents, all documents clean and apostilled. I had my interview two weeks ago in New York and it went well. Waiting for my mazal tov letter.
Targeting Jerusalem — specifically the Katamon/Baka area which I know from my seminary year. I have a flat share lined up with two other girls from my seminary who have already made aliyah. The community infrastructure is already there which makes the logistics less terrifying.
Most anxious about the job situation — nonprofit management in English in Jerusalem is a specific niche and I am not sure how accessible it is for a new oleh without fluent Hebrew. Would love to hear from anyone working in the nonprofit sector in Israel.
