What should I pack when moving to Israel?
We asked people living in Israel to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Here are three things not to bring: 1) Appliances that are designed for US homes 2) Anything that you are even thinking about discarding 3) Books that have already been read, unless you are a show off," explained one expat living in R'aanana, Israel.

"When moving to Israel, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid summers, as well as warm layers for the cooler winter months. Bring comfortable shoes for walking, as well as a hat and sunglasses to protect you from the sun. Make sure to bring any necessary medications, as well as a first aid kit. Don't forget to bring any important documents, such as your passport and visa. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items from home to make your new home feel more familiar," said another expat in Israel.
