Whether you're in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, or elsewhere, this thread is for you to share your journey, ask questions, and connect with others moving from South Africa to Israel.
Please introduce yourself and tell us:
- Where you’re currently living in South Africa
- Where you’re planning to settle in Israel
- What stage you’re at in the Aliyah process
- What you're most excited or nervous about
Discussion Starters:- Are you applying through the Israel Centre in SA or going through Nefesh B’Nefesh?
- What are your biggest concerns (safety, job market, schools, lifestyle)?
- How are you handling pets, pensions, or property before the move?
- Any recommendations for good communities for South Africans in Israel?
Example:This is your place to share advice, experiences, and encouragement with fellow South African Olim — both before and after you arrive in Israel.“Hi, I’m Ilan from Cape Town. Planning to make Aliyah this September with my wife and two teens. Looking at Ra’anana or Modiin. Really want to hear how others have handled schooling and the adjustment.”
