Israel: Life in Israel memoir:

For anyone making Aliya, or moving to Israel , or just wanting to get an inside look about life there , I (an award winning scientist) wrote an exciting, educational, and adventurous memoir about living in Israel for almost 25 years. On kindle, Amazon.com, CreateSpace. "Leaving Home, Going Home, Returning Home: A Hebrew American’s Sojourn in the Land of Israel" Authored by Jason Alster List Price: $18.99 6" x 9" (15.24 x 22.86 cm) Black & White on White paper 308 pages ISBN-13: 978-1439258750 (CreateSpace-Assigned) ISBN-10: 1439258759 LCCN: 2009911178 BISAC: Travel / Middle East / Israel Whether you dream of moving across the country or to another continent, or you are returning home after a prolonged absence, Jason Alster’s Leaving Home, Going Home, Returning Home is an illuminating and inspiring read. Alster paints a picture of his move to Israel, his palette of words reflecting the tones and hues of this Mediterranean nation, but the message he conveys could be applied to any move, to any change from one place to another. Why? Because this book is about the courage to change, to take risks, and to trust oneself regarding that place we wish to call home. How does one adjust to a new language, to a culture decidedly different from the one left behind? What new lessons must we learn? Is there a sense of isolation and longing, or is it possible to become part of that new place and create a sense of community and belonging? According to the author, the answer is a definite yes! Page after page, readers will discover the keys—and occasionally the secrets—to fitting in. CreateSpace eStore: https://www.createspace.com/1000252310

Israel: An educational memoir of life in Israel:

Hi, In 2010 , I wrote a memoir / non fiction novel , about life in Israel as I lived there 23 years. I talk about how to acclimate into other cultures and there is much personal experience about starting a business there , culture , food, and experiences traveling to neighboring countries. I also compare Israel as a democracy to other democracies and especially the USA. With Israel in the news again, I find this memoir as still appropriate for grasping a deeper love and understanding of what Israel is all about as a breathing living nation, and not just an actor on the world stage. The book was in some ways based on the book Under The Tuscan Sun ( culture acclimation, humor) and the Hobbit (wild, adventure) . However , when the movie Eat Pray Love came out, I saw it was similar to that genre for its life lessons learned and shared world experiences. With Amazon.com and Kindle.

Israel: Moving to Israel:

Hi- The major universities especially Haifa University have an English program. There are also groups on Yahoo and an expat Yahoo group in Israel for sharing info. Main jobs for English teachers are writing resume's , technical writing , teaching English. Otherwise your best bet is to join different networking groups like BNI in Israel too. It will be hard to start out without other Israelis helping you. Other possible jobs are living in Israel but having an international job over the internet and yes there is also some American outsourcing to Israel for phone sales and reps due to the night day time shift. As for culture acclimation I suggest a book called "Leaving Home , Going Home , Returning Home: A Hebrew American's Sojourn in the Land of Israel". With kindle and Amazon.com.
