One important big thing…
Make friends when you get here. Your family will be back in the USA and when you need some help it is nice to have a friend or neighbor to call. We live here in Ariel (which I love) and after my wife had a baby last week our neighbors have been nothing but wonderful in helping us with all sorts of thing.
Really having friends can be the difference between loving life in Israel and hating it.
Oh and if you make Aliyah make sure to tour the country Israel is a wonderful place.
