What do I need to know before moving to Israel?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Israel, they said:

"Expats should be aware that Israel is a small country with a diverse population. It is important to research the culture and customs of the country before moving there. Expats should also be aware that the official language is Hebrew, although English is widely spoken. It is also important to familiarize oneself with the local laws and regulations, as well as the cost of living. Additionally, expats should be aware that Israel is a very safe country, but it is important to take the necessary precautions to ensure personal safety. Finally, expats should be aware that Israel is a very welcoming country and there are many opportunities to make friends and explore the country," replied a member in Israel.

"My advice is to contact Rani or just type Momentum Israel and you will find their services of relocating to Israel. They can make your move very smooth and are extremely affordable and most of all helpful and caring. They'll also give you advice on the type of neighborhoods that suit best to your criteria and living preferences," commented one expat who made the move to Tel Aviv.
