It’s been 16 months now since I left the U.S. and made Aliyah with my husband and our children.
After the war started, I was let go from my marketing job, along with two thirds of the staff. It hurt, though I knew it wasn’t really a good fit there.
The past couple months I’ve been focused on my family, volunteering, painting, finishing my book, and offering free classes for women.
But I did our budget and realize that, even with my husband’s job, I need to start earning an income again. In Judaism we call it parnassah.
All our sustenance ultimately comes from G-d.
I want to be able to give more tzedakah to those in need here in Israel. And to use my professional skills.
I trust the right things will find me.
For 20 years I’ve written professionally. And I do graphic and web design, which I love.
I’ve been researching part-time options here in Israel and the U.S. And I’m praying.
As a Jewess, especially in Israel, I’ve learned and inherited strength and resilience.
For that I’m so grateful.
And I’m excited to see what comes next.
