Setting an example

Our friends and neighbors just made Aliyah.

Here's what Andrea writes.

Grand total for tuition for all three girls including transportation............................$3428.25. This is considered an excellent school with lots of choices of "majors" to choose including film making, graphic design, eretz yisroel (where they tour and do tiyulim all over the country and learn about the Land) and physics just to name a few.

COME HOME NOW!!!!!!

I haven't even talked about the Carlebach minyan EVERY Friday nite with so much kavanah that I need no other reason to know why I am here but this. Oh, did I mention that the land that belonged to Menashe and Ephraim is practically in my back yard????? But you'll have to wait a little longer to hear about all that. We'll just keep it to tachlis now and let you digest the tuition information.

The tuition bill. One more reason to make Aliyah.

We've been getting together for Sukkos and Shavuos forever it seems. Now they will be olei regel.

Re the tuition bill - you must balance it against the future costs of the wedding + the honeymoon (do not count on your progeny forking out the money for themselves - it is not the Israeli way).

And housing, and all them grandchildren...

I have neighbors who came from north America with a couple of kids and had plenty more here, probably more than they could have afforded in the states.
They figured if they were going to struggle financially, they may as well do it in Israel.

Good luck to your friends!!

Actually, I thought it was actually, not practically!

Well, technically, our backyard is used by a neighbor who builds and fixes speedboats and engines. There's also a huge dog back there.
