What’s next? Parnassah & tzedakah in Israel

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.

“Even when I walk in the valley of darkness, I will fear no evil for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff – they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4
