MAKING YOUR ALIYAH DREAM REALITY

16/10/2026

Moving to a new country can be overwhelming and expensive. Figuring out what to bring, what to buy new can be extremely stressful. When it comes to mattress covers and sheets, I highly recommend for such essentials instead of buying expensive, name brands when you first arrive. You can't beat the price and the quality is definitely good enough to take off your list of what to worry about.

I have always said they should teach new immigrants how to wash the floor in the Israel before they let you leave the airport. For those that don't know, most Israelis wash the floor with a special broom 🧹 that looks like a giant squeegy and a thin towel. This process is called sponga. The idea is to move the water around the tile floor to collect and wash all of the dirt outside or into a drain. In homes and apartments that have a patio or porch, one pushes the water and dirt outside where most of the water is caught in the door track to the outside in a small drain hole. Over time, the door track can get clogged with dirt and will cause the doors to not be able to close properly. When you are having patio and balcony door issues, ALWAYS clean out the door tracks first before calling a specialist.

UPDATE ON INJURED IDF RESERVIST
Thank God, Neriah Leiter is now breathing on his own!
Neriah, the son of Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the US, was critically injured by a Palestinian terrorist on September 26.
Neriah still needs our prayers - Neriah Dov ben Chana.
But this is a positive development.
May God bless Neriah with a full recovery.

In Israel, homes and apartments don't come with blinds or curtains, they come with electric blinds (trisim) for the patio and porch doors. However, this can create problems on Shabbat where people need to decide if they will keep them all the way closed, halfway closed, or fully open. Some homes do have shabbat timers that can control these trisim, but for the majority of those that do not there is an ingenious solution. In Israel, most electric trisim have a genius built-in mechanism to manually open and close the tris.

Moving to a new country is one thing - deciding what to put on the lift, leaving old friends and family, figuring out jobs, etc. However, one of the most important things that needs to be taken care of is getting the children set up for their new school. The children will have to deal with new classmates, a new language, new school, etc. The last thing that I want my clients and their children dealing with is issues with registration, showing up with out their books on the first day and feeling embarrassed not wearing their printed school shirts. This particular client is making Aliyah just a few days before school starts, so I arranged with the school to pick up books and ordered school shirts in advance. There is such a difference in a child's Aliyah if they feel taken care of.

My client is scheduled to arrive in a week and that means I am working all hours making sure their apartment will be ready when they come off the plane. As I mentioned in an earlier post, when the outdoor table was delivered, the delivery company refused to bring it up stairs and into the apartment. Fortunely, with some help, tonight we were able to bring it into the backyard so it is ready for the handyman to put together in the morning. These are just some of the challanges people don't normally think of but happen often. However, at House to Home Aliyah, we will take care of everything.

Making the most out of your new space is very important and requires proper planning. Sometimes you will be moving from a large house to an apartment with less rooms or smaller rooms. However, you still want to have guests or have the ability for your children to have sleepovers. Utilizing a high-riser or trundle bed can be a great solution to save space, but also have the option to open it up when needed like my client chose to do in their son's room.

My client's custom beds have arrived. Starting with the master bed, this beautiful blue bed frame with storage underneath maximizes comfort with functionality. The frame was actually too large to come up the stairs, so it was broken into 2 parts and rebuilt in the room. In Israel, most apartments don't come with built-in closets, so under the bed storage is a great solution for off-season clothing.

Things are starting to get very serious over here in עיריית מודיעין מכבים רעות at my client's apartment. איקאה ישראל | IKEA ISRAEL just delivered more furniture and I am running out of space for the next delivery. However, not to worry, this is nothing new for House to Home Aliyah 😁. It's all part of the planning. The Ikea furniture will be built and put into place before the next furniture delivery, how cute is that chair???
