My Mom's interest peaked up when she saw the health care, not that I know much about Israeli health care... great way to get a Jewish doctor I suppose!  She is also very observant so living in the Biblical Homeland would be a true delight for my Mom.  My parents are 67 [Mom] and 73 [Dad].  I am sure they would like to remain active, they both have PHDs in Psychology, and have worked in both the academic and business worlds.

I am planning on making Aliyah myself, it would be great to take my parents with me.  How then could my brother remain in the US by himself!? HA! :dance:

"The difference between a Jewish liberal and a Jewish conservative is that when a Jewish liberal walks out of the Holocaust Museum, he feels, "This shows why we need to have more tolerance and multiculturalism." The Jewish conservative feels, "We should have killed a lot more Nazis, and sooner."" - Philip Klein

I'm sure Israel is a great place for elderly Jewish people to retire to.

Learn the language first
If someone says something bad about you, say something nice about them. That way, both of you would be lying.

In your heart you know WE are right and in your guts you know THEY are nuts!
