I really want to know more about what it is like to make Aliyah, the hardships, the time frame, was it hard to get a job in Israel. Where would a reconstructionist/reform Jew want to live? What about the Kibbutz option? Is learning Hebrew a real challenge, or does the Ulpan make it a lot easier? Will you be able to speak enough for business after Ulpan? What about jobs? I work in financial services as an investment advisor but my understanding is that in Israel financial services and banking is unionized and it's incredibly hard to get into is this right? Please give me any more info on Aliyah that you can. Personal experience would be great. Thanks!

Look no further than Nefesh B'Nefesh.
I've found it to be the absolute one-stop shop.
They occasionally have seminars and reps in the US for personalized one-on-one meetings.
They're excellent at getting back to you by email for all your initial questions. They have a toll-free info hotline too.

Go to the Nefesh B'Nefesh web site at http://www.nbn.org.il/index.html
There are many resources available to you, including seminars and guides. You can even have a live chat with an aliyah counselor!

Dude, your synagogue should be able to help you with these questions. Or your synagogue should be able to direct you to someone who can help. If not, there's always other synagogues. Good luck to you!

The local JCC in your area should be able to help you out...
