How did you persuade your SO to make Aliyah?
So I’ve had Aliyah plans since highschool about 8 years ago. I was going to finish college and then move to Israel. A year before moving to Israel, I somehow fell in love here in the US. My husband is Israeli speaks Hebrew and Judaism matters a lot to him.
We have been to Israel together and he loved it. his favorite parts are how everyone is Jewish and speaks Hebrew the way Israelis are all Bros and joke and laugh constantly. Basically he loved it. The parts he didn’t like and why he says he wouldn’t live there, are the inability to form lines in a store and driving aggressively mostly.
I still would loooovvvveee to make Aliyah but am unsure of what could make him feel the same way I do. We both have lots of family there. Another aspect is unfortunately his family is struggling financially and all say they wouldn’t want to live there if they had the choice.
To me making Aliyah is about supporting Israel and Judaism. Many lives were lost fighting for our freedom and for having a place for Jewish people to call home. I’m completely in love with Israel and feel so happy and at peace when I’m there.
TLDR; my Israeli husband who has live in the US since age 11 isn’t feeling making Aliyah. I have been wanting to since before meeting him. He loved being in Israel. What can I do or show him to make it important to him as well?
