I’m really stupid and bad at languages. If I made Aaliyah and but was never able to become fluent in Hebrew would I always be considered an Anglo and not a real Israeli?

For Jews: How (if at all) have recent world events impacted your level of interest in moving to or away from Israel?
I live in the diaspora and am more interested in making aliyah than pre-October
I live in the diaspora and am less interested in making aliyah than pre-October
I live in the diaspora and my interest in aliyah is the same as pre-October
I live in Israel and am more interested in moving elsewhere than pre-October

A companion to this poll.
(Once again, though I should not have to say this: this is not a post for political discourse, whatever your perspective. And it is most definitely not a post for political discourse from non-Jews.
You are more than welcome to respectfully share your reasons for your response. Using the poll as a platform for debate — or for criticizing others for their answers — will result in a block. 👍)
Apparently, I’m a right-wing fascist pig.
by Yonah Elias
I had it all:
A house with a garage door that opened like a sci-fi movie.
A Tesla that could literally fart on command while saving the whales.
Kids in elite American Jewish Days schools.
But then something inside me snapped. Maybe it was the sound of missiles in Israel.
Maybe it was watching the world go silent when Jews were murdered on October 7.
Maybe it was realizing I was raising children in the comfort of exile while my people were burying their dead.
So I did the unthinkable.
I came home.
To Judea.
To Efrat.
To the exact piece of earth the entire world says I don’t belong on — which is precisely why I came.
“You moved during a war?”
Yes. That’s called being Jewish.
If you think this is reckless, allow me to offer you a crash course in Jewish history:
We’ve been fighting for this land for 3,000 years.
And every time we stop fighting, we stop existing.
So I chose existence.
I chose noise, danger, rockets, and riots over silence, assimilation, and spiritual euthanasia.
“But you had a Tesla!”
Yes. And now I have a Mitsubishi that makes noises.
But you know what?
My Tesla never told my kids who they are.
My Tesla didn’t teach them courage, history, faith, or how to defend a nation that rose from the ashes of Auschwitz with nothing but chutzpah and a half-tank of gas.
The Online Hate Brigade
Let’s talk about the haters.
The ones with Twitter bios like:
“They/them | Queer | Vegan | BLM | FreePalestine | Intersectional Wiccan Activist | part-time rage monster”
They accuse me of:
“Colonialism!”
“Ethnic cleansing!”
“White supremacy!”
“Stealing land from indigenous people!”
Sorry, but my ancestors weren’t colonizers.
They were slaves in Egypt, refugees in Babylon, ghosts in Auschwitz, and survivors who came home to Judea while your great-grandfather was still figuring out indoor plumbing.
I’m not “stealing land.”
I’m living on my ancestral inheritance, defended by blood, sweat, prayer, and the IDF.
Wow… my last post I talked about my 3 year anniversary coming up… well now it’s my 8 year Aliyah anniversary coming to.
Since I made Aliyah I got a job, got married, had my son, Covid pandemic, went back to work, had my daughter, decided not to go back to work due to burnout and mental health as well as physical health troubles, Oct 7 and a war with Hamas. I’m currently still not working as I struggle with chronic pain and fatigue. Aldo I struggled to learn Hebrew thanks to my neurodivergence struggles which limited the job market to English customer service representatives and that was the jobs that caused me to crash and burn. Thankfully I have a very supportive husband.
Israel is an expensive country to live in, though the cost of living has soared globally. Food costs are honestly insane and as a family of 5 and neurodivergent kiddos, it’s hard.
To live in Israel you need:
Money
Post secondary education in a career that is always in demand. Hi-tech is honestly not that great and taxing on your mental health
Learn Hebrew before you come because the free Ulpan is not good at all
Have a support system such as family/spouse family/good friend
Patience
Open mind and heart
Passion
Flexibility
Honestly the list could go on
For anyone that is considering making Aliyah, it’s a great time to follow what is happening in Israel right now with the dissolving of the Knesset and the motion to hold new elections - our fifth in the past 3 years. You will see what the government thinks is important and in response what the people think is important. You will also see several deep divides - both in the Knesset and amongst Israelis.
If you want to call Israel home, pay attention 💙🇮🇱✊🏼

Me, a Jew existing in 2019:
Prince of Egypt: deliver us to the land you promised us!
Me: whelp
I dislike living in the diaspora . I am ready to leave but afraid that I am being "antigentile", antihumanism. The diaspora raised me and i learned a lot from growing up where I live. Running to Israel might make things worse especially if I am not ready. I don't want to move to Israel and lose my mind in religion
.
I know it’s not really done anymore, but is it still possible for people who make Aliyah to Hebraicize their names? If so, is it a long/complex process?
