At Chatam we are (almost) all Olim. We all came here from somewhere else – the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom – did we leave anyone out? We’ve all experienced what you’re going through now – the excitement of making Aliya.

Rechovot offers a wonderful opportunity for Klita (absorption) into Israeli society, with the help of an Anglo community that helps the absorption to go as smoothly as possible. Because Rechovot has many new immigrants, and its own Misrad Haaliya Vehaklita (Ministry of Immigration and Absorption), it’s easier than many other cities to complete all the paperwork and get the help needed settling in.

Because Rechovot is mostly Israeli, with only a 15% Anglo presence in the city as a whole, it allows your family a true Klita (absorption) into Israeli society. This can be a huge adjustment, but a strong, loving, and warm community can help with the ups and downs of the process.
