Hi Mike. I don't know anything about the inspections, but you if you make aliyah, you don't have to pay customs. I recommend you either shoot Nefesh B'Nefesh an email or look through their website. They usually are the best for these "unique" questions. Good Luck. Please don't let your car keep you from making aliyah though!

I have a question about bringing a car. I did read that it is NOT recommended to bring a car, however I still want to do it for personal reasons. Basically, if I don't bring it, I'll lose the car, and the car is pretty expensive, that's why I am still determined to bring it. I can get someone to send parts from the U.S.,besides it's a car popular enough in Israel. My question is about customs fees/technical inspection. Is there an inspection on imported cars?? What is the customs fee? Are people in the Aliyah program exempt from the customs fee?? Please let me know, this is very important for me. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments.

Michael, thanks for letting me know about that stuff. It will be useful for next year after I make aliyah.

Ronda was very helpful to our family when we made aliyah, and it is due to her that we are living in Modiin for 6 years. Besides her work assisting olim, she also runs a chocolate company, http://www.chocolatedreamsco.com/

You can order delicious chocolates for friends, family, or yourself.

Sure, some of this stuff should be common sense, but as we all probably know, common sense is unfortunately not all that common. Lots of good tips here though!

Great list

You forgot school trips - if you child has a tiyul, find out whether it is for parents as well (e.g., their Chumas Tiyul at the end of Kita Alef).

If it is NOT for parents, make sure that you provide the kids with tons of "Chatifim" snack foods (bamba, bisli, candies, sandwiches, etc) otherwise they may find themselves friendless on the tiyul when everyone else on the bus is swapping snacks.
