My Story

I came to Israel expecting to struggle with the typical issues most Olim face. Bureaucracy, learning a new language, and getting a job.

 

What I never anticipated was that THIS would be the simple part. 

​

Everything else - how to know who is an “ars” and who isn’t, how to integrate yourself into a friendship circle or create your own, or why that cute guy you went on two dates with suddenly ghosted you right after mentioning that he wants you to come to his family’s Shabbat dinner… 

​

Those are all problems that Nefesh Be-Nefesh will not be able to help you with. 

​

I just had to go through them on my own. And trust me, it was not easy, involved a LOT of tears, a few mental breakdowns, and way too many phone calls to my mom. 

​

That’s why I decided to start this blog. 

​

It’s for you - the girl who moved to Israel, and needs help understanding this weird new world she’s living in. ❤️
