I need to clarify something right now.
I will probably not live on a Kibbutz.
My fantasy of old, did have me holding
a plow and tilling the earth. Now,older and more of an urbanite, I would be happy and more productive in a city.I have been studying different cities that I might want to settle in.I can choose from a religious community , a community with more retirees than
young families and communities that have many $$$$ signs next to them in their description, And yes, communities that have English speakers.So far I haven't seen a disclosure of a city that is pet friendly.
If you
just want to check out everything available to me , look at the Nefesh B Nefesh site www.NBN.com.
As for spending the rest of my life in Israel, it is never too late for me.
