How hard would it be for an American Christian lawyer to move to Israel, learn the language and be accepted?

Question

I am totally in love with an Israeli man who must move there. Please set aside all judgments and just answer the question...I usually would not go to such lengths for a man but he is really, really wonderful and I love his family

Answer 1

Shouldnt be that hard Marry him learn hebrew and be happy.

Answer 2

You will never be accepted.

Answer 3

You would be fine. Don't let propaganda and media blasphemy twist your interpretation of Israel. It's a beautiful, nice, understanding country. Christianity is actually a major religion there and there's a significant community of Christians along with a stunning collection of churches. There's nothing to be afraid of, especially nonacceptance.

**And Hebrew, while a hard language to learn, is taught in many places. Most of the community can speak English fluently in major cities, however.

Answer 4

Hardship is relative to the person, so not knowing you I wouldn't have a clue.

I learned 5 languages and traveled the world and had fun but it can also be h**l. AND when it's all said and done and you do go back, you aren't like them any more and you'll never be.



Having said this, you aren't going to a normal place either, there's a suicide bomber case almost every day in Israel. I know the news seem so far away but it is real blood and guts and terror and perhaps you shouldn't burn your bridges.

Just go there for a 3 months trial and then see if you can turn it into a six months and then a year.

Answer 5

If you marry him,no problem. Otherwise immigration by Christians and all other faiths is prohibited; you must be jewish on the matrilinear side going back four generations.
