American to Israel
Tell me it is possible! I am a 55-year-old, educated, Jewish American (Chicago)interested in moving to Israel on a permanent basis. I want to make a difference at this point in my life and my heart tells me Israel is where I belong. I do not speak Hebrew, my finances are weak (due to a bad divorce) and my background is in marketing and public relations. I am in very good heatlh, physically fit and willing to do any kind of physical or "professional" work that would help the country. I would also volunteer for military service if a person of my age is needed. Would someone please tell me if my age and background are of value, and how HARD it will be for me to make this dream come true? My financial resources are practically nil. Is there a program that accepts people like me? Can I get subsidized or free housing and healthcare in exchange for my work? I do not need creature comforts. I am looking to make a difference and change my life. I am ready to become an Israeli citizen NOW!
