It’s that time of year again when all the new olim are in high stress mode of packing, shipping, landing and acclimating into Israeli society! It’s an exciting time for them and for those of us who’ve already experienced the roller coaster ride and want to help ease the transition as much as possible. So with that in mind, today I’d like to share with you some wonderful resources that are now available – and were not when I needed them.<\/p>\n

Yitzchak & Tikva Sasson of Aliyah Lift Shipping<\/em><\/a> (a company owned and operated by new olim) have published an informative and very nice Your Shipment e-Guide<\/a><\/strong> designed to answer questions, and help pave the way for a smooth and intelligent shipment. In the guide they stress the importance that you completely understand the many facets involved in shipping to ensure smooth sailing<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Neil Kummer of KEF International Shipping<\/em><\/a> recently sent me this very comprehensive guide detailing which 220 Volt Appliances<\/a><\/strong> are worth importing vs. buying in Israel, along with their Tax-Free Privileges and Shipping Guide.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ed Singer from Sonigo Worldwide Moving<\/a><\/em> recently shared with me (and the readers of the Voleh blog<\/a><\/em><\/strong>) their Shipping Rights Guide<\/a><\/strong> for people making Aliya from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, and other (but not all) Western countries, as well as their Aliya Shipping Guide<\/a><\/strong> which provides basic information about preparing your shipment.<\/p>\n

Once all of your worldly goods have left your possession and are in the care of a professional shipping company, I highly recommend that you take a few days to vacation and say goodbye to the old world and prepare for your new life in the Holy Land! <\/strong>I wish you an uneventful and peaceful transition.
