For olim hadashim, and anyone still deciding
Protect the dream.
Aliyah doesn’t fail on the big decision. It fails on a missed deadline, an unclaimed benefit, a wasted year. Your free plan shows you each one in time.

Work comes first
A job is what makes an aliyah hold.
Starting a business here is possible, but keeping one open and profitable is hard. For most olim the first goal is a salary, and in our experience referrals are the fastest way to one. The job boards, the WhatsApp groups where hiring happens and the networks that mentor olim, all in one place.
Start where you are
Where are you in your aliyah?
Aliyah is a journey with stages, and each one has its own worries and its own deadlines. Pick where you are and see what matters now.
Everything here is free

If any of this sounds familiar, it is not you.
These are the three complaints that come up again and again, and none of them are a personal failing. They are what happens when the process assumes you already know how it works.
- “I am stuck and I cannot even work out what I am waiting for.”
- Your ID gates the bank, the bank gates the card, the card gates the app everyone assumes you have. When you are stuck we name the single thing blocking you, rather than handing you a list of twenty and wishing you luck.
- “I read something helpful, but I have no idea if it is still true.”
- Every figure here carries the date a person last checked it against its source. When one goes stale we say so on the page instead of letting you act on it. Silence is how a 2020 guide still looks authoritative in 2026.
- “Every guide seems to be written for somebody else.”
- A retiree in Netanya, a nurse in Karmiel and a family whose eldest turns seventeen next year need three different plans. Same country, same week, genuinely different journeys.
Why not just use the free guides?
Because they go stale and present it as current. As of mid-2026 the Israeli government’s own New Immigrant Guide is dated 2022, and Nefesh B’Nefesh’s flagship post-aliyah PDF still reads 2020, on figures that move every year. Here, every benefit, deadline and number carries the day it was last checked, and when one goes stale the page says so instead of quietly lying. See exactly how current we are.
Who is behind this
My name is Yuri. I made aliyah in 2021 with my family, from the United States, and I built Aliyahu because the hardest part of coming home was never the decision. It was everything after it.
Built and kept current by Yuri Kruman, oleh since 2021.

The appointment may be months out, your income will probably dip before it recovers, and a clerk may ask for a document that was on no list you were given. Knowing that in advance is worth more than encouragement. What we can do is make sure none of it arrives as a surprise.
