		<description><![CDATA[There is a period of time where you feel the atmosphere changing in Israel. It’s not a moment like  flipping a switch quickly, but more like a light on a dimmer switch: It starts out dark and gradually lightens until it’s fully on and bright.
That’s Yom Hazikaron-into-Yom  Ha’atzmaut. The country is somber and [...]]]></description>

These two days are intricately connected in Israeli society;  here, we really wouldn’t have our independence and be the country  we are today and be able to celebrate Independence Day if not for those who we remember on Memorial Day. And it’s so fresh and close to everyone, [...]]]></description>

This was my first Passover (Pesach) in Israel, and my first Pesach as an Israeli. One [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bank system in Israel is very different than the system in the United States in general. The first thing is that banks charge you for EVERYTHING. And they charge more for going to a teller vs. doing things at an ATM. And ATMs are  different also—they’re not all-in-one. Accounts usually do not earn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hora’at keva is the term used for payments that are deducted straight from your bank  account automatically.
For example, your health insurance/kupat cholim. Your phone bill. Your internet payment. Your electric bill. Your water bill. I think you get the idea. Pretty much the way things work here is that you need a credit card [...]]]></description>

They give you your teudat oleh (the booklet that you use when you use your zechuyot (rights) for things like lifts, a car, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a bit more personal than the other entries as of yet. The actual making aliyah—the flight, the ceremony, the welcome…it’s something you can’t really depersonalize.
We were told to get on the flight. So we did—there was no boarding according to groups, seats,  rows—none of that. It was “Board when you get there.” [...]]]></description>

I actually wasn’t quite sure when I became Israeli—when I got on the plane? When I landed? When I got my teudat oleh? It was confusing for a while, because I had my flight date and details, but I hadn’t actually made aliyah so was I an olah? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So continuing on with the aliyah  process…
There is a lot that has to be done before you actually MAKE aliyah. There are applications to fill out, forms to give in, pictures to take, letters and proofs of…things (birth, residency, marriage/divorce if applicable, Jewishness). As you know, I went through an amazing organization called Nefesh [...]]]></description>
