I'm planning to make Aliyah to Israel. That's right. I'm going to move to the holy land of my ancestors. I'm a real Zionist, and I believe in Israel.
I'm not going to move there yet, of course. I can't go there now. I have to maintain my thriving business over here. I can't just dump it, you know. But I figure that when I'm about 75 or 80 I'll be able to leave the business and property to my kids. I'll put my money in escrow. My kids will also have a nice big bank account over here. After I take care of them, I'll retire in Israel.
I understand that Israel needs every single person who is willing to help their country, just by being there. I was also told me that Israel supports its citizens with their National Insurance social security system. So I'm going to stay there and do my part for Israel.
Oh, I'm thinking of bringing my mother, too. She's older than I am, of course, but she can communicate from her wheelchair reasonably well on a good day. I'm sure that she'll also be a tremendous asset to the country. She will do her part to help the country grow.
