Review: Three Books About Aliyah / Moving To Israel
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2021-10-11

The subject of living in Israel and making aliyah / moving to Israel has been explored by relatively few books.

Nevertheless, over the course of the past few years, some worthy new additions to the aliyah literature have come to market. 

For this video, I took a look at three of these:

1: Becoming Israeli (Akiva Gersh)

This book presents a series of vignettes, culled mostly from the Times of Israel Blogs exploring what Israel and Zionism means to those featured in it. This is a great coffee table book that you can dip in and dip out of. 

Available from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3uZF1kU

2: Aliyah: Home, Hope Reality (Ariella Bernstein and Avi Losice)

Aliyah: Home, Hope, Reality is a nice exploration of the underdiscussed subject of how olim's decision to make aliyah impacts upon their relationships with their parents and family. The book presents a mixture of pragmatic and supportive information intended both for olim themselves and their families, whether they joined them on the journey or stayed "behind" outside of Israel.

3: Just Get On That Plane: Aliyah And Why You Need To Make It Right NOw (Yaakov Greenspan)

This book departs from the more diplomatic tone taken in the two other texts featured here and presents an aggressive and strident argument for why making aliyah and moving to Israel is the "only logical" move that Jews living outside of Israel should make.
