“It’s not just about running from something… It’s about building toward something better.” I had a powerful conversation this week with a family from New York. They’ve been thinking about Aliyah for a while. And like so many, they want to make sure they’re not sacrificing their lifestyle — that they can find a home in Israel that feels familiar, comfortable, right. But then the husband said something that really stuck with me: "What happened with the mayor back home… that shouldn't be the reason to make Aliyah. There are plenty of other, better reasons." And he's right. Because this move isn’t about fear. It’s about faith. It’s about choosing a place where you’re not constantly looking over your shoulder. Where your kids play freely outside. Where people care — and yes, they may be blunt, but they’d give you the shirt off their back in a crisis. Israel is imperfect. But it’s home. And what we’re doing at PBYR Group isn’t just selling homes — we’re helping families like this one turn their values into reality. A house is just the start. A rooted, meaningful life in Israel — that’s the dream. And b’ezrat Hashem, we’re going to help them build it.
