Hello,

My wife and I are Conservative Jewish, and considering moving to Israel from America. Does anyone know how that has worked out in the past? Where is the best area to live for us? Are there any large non-orthodox American neighborhoods? We are thinking of moving to Haifa because it's beautiful and seems cheaper than Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. However, I work in corporate accounting and assume that Tel Aviv would have the most job opportunities for me. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Are you interested in Torah Observance, or looking for similar minded folks when you get there? And why Israel?

Cute, but answering a question with a question is only prima facie evidence of being Jewish.

theflipflop is not a zionist. Per his beliefs the State of Israel should not exist until hashem has made it so. This is why countless times he has stated the Jews are still in exile.
