Many Jews have considered moving to Israel, even before the State was established in 1948. Many more were encouraged to make the move following the glorious victory in the famous Six-Day War of 1967. However, some people were justifiably cowed by the difficulties faced by immigrants (olim) to Israel.
You may have heard about those problems as well. If you are planning to move to Israel, you should certainly do anything possible to avoid them. It does make sense to make your move as smooth as possible. Israel should be more than a new and permanent home. It should be preceded by a pleasant and easy move, and followed by a good life thereafter.
Sounds like a dream? Perhaps, but you can have some control over the issue. The best way to do the right thing is by studying what kind of person is likely to stay in Israel.
