For all of you who think that masses of Israelis are going to the US, well, green card quotas for Israelis from are currently very low. Even in high tech, the field where the US is in dire need of skilled immigration, perhaps 1,000 Israelis a year may manage to get legal work permits. I grew up as a US-born child of a yored family, and came on aliyah 15 years ago. Materially, I live comfortably here, it can be done. OK, I could have done better in the US, but I did just fine in high tech here.
What I can tell you all is that I envy NO ISRAELIS in the US when it comes to family stability. In the long-term, almost all have problems, big-time, with their kids: (1) Intermarriage, (2) No marriage, (3) Divorce, (4) Eccentric lifestyles (drugs, sexual orientation, etc etc). The satisfication of seeing ones kids marrying Jews and raising a Jewish family is definitely a minority of the cases of the yored`s destiny in the US. |
