“My grandmother was from Petah Tikva before moving to the U.S., and I dreamed of coming back to build my life here. In 2016, after graduating from the University of Minnesota, I came to Petah Tikva to teach English through a @masaisrael program. Within months, I knew I was home. The next summer I made Aliyah and moved to Jerusalem. I worked as a waitress and started the international Master of Public Health program at @hebrewuniversity. After some time I decided to switch from the International MPH program to the Israeli one to improve my Hebrew and integrate more. At the start it was very overwhelming. I would sit in class with a recording device and a pocket notebook where I’d jot down every unfamiliar word. Over time it got easier and I noticed I was actually becoming familiar with Israeli health jargon. I realized that while I enjoy research, my true passion has always been helping people directly. I rekindled my dream of becoming a dentist which I had initially given up after making Aliyah. I had assumed that with only two dental schools in the country, my not yet fluent Hebrew, and a very competitive application process I would never get accepted. I was inspired by the healthcare professionals around me who could help people directly and I realized that I wanted to help people find their smile. I started to study for the Psychometry, applied, and was accepted to dental school at @telavivuni. Since moving to TLV, life has had its challenges but has also been rewarding. I married my Israeli husband, had two amazing children, and have been slowly but surely working towards my dentistry degree. In our student clinic, we treat patients under the close supervision of experienced specialists and dentists. We're exceptionally thorough, explain every procedure, and make dental care an approachable and accessible experience. Students are responsible for finding their own patients and I'm currently welcoming new cases! If you or someone you know is looking for attentive, high-quality dental care at a reduced rate, I'd love to treat you in our Tel Aviv clinic!

My first time voting in Israel! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 16 months ago, at 38, I left my life in Los Angeles to Make Aliyah. Today, I’m exercising my right to vote as an Israeli citizen for the very first time! What an incredible privilege to have a voice in the future of the country I now call home. ❤️🥹 Come along for this special milestone! #IsraelElections #Aliyah #VotingInIsrael #AmericanInIsrael #LifeInIsrael

How do you build a government for a society where no two people think alike? 🏛️🇮🇱 Israel’s answer didn’t start in 1948 - it grew out of pre-state traditions and an ancient Jewish model of self-governance. When the Constituent Assembly first met in Jerusalem in February 1949, they chose a name deeply rooted in Jewish memory: the Knesset, after the Knesset HaGedolah (Great Assembly of 120 sages). Why 120 seats? Why proportional representation? Why coalitions? 📜 Swipe through to discover how Israel’s electoral system was designed to ensure many voices have a seat at the table and why compromise, coalition-building, and a strong opposition remain at the heart of Israeli democracy today. #LiveLoveIsrael #Israel #Zionism #IsraeliElections

MedEx UK 🇬🇧👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🇮🇱 Yesterday, over 130 British doctors looking to move to Israel came to MedEx UK in London - this is the second MedEx UK, after the first in 2024. They were joined by 29 medical students and 14 employers. Doctors got direct access to Israeli medical and government representatives to help move their Aliyah forward. Physicians in attendance worked on converting their medical licenses, explored job options, and got information on financial assistance and Ulpan options. Some took the YAEL Hebrew proficiency exam. A newly developed app tracked their meetings with employers. During the event, doctors planning to make Aliyah in the coming months submitted their license conversion applications to Israel’s Ministry of Health. MedEx is part of the International Medical Aliyah Program (IMAP), launched in 2024 to bring 2,000 doctors to Israel by 2029. The goal is to strengthen the healthcare system, especially in the North and South. Hosted by Nefesh B’Nefesh in partnership with @misrad_aliyah, @health.gov.il, @negev.galil.ministry, and @jewishagency. The program is supported by the Marcus Foundation, the Gottesman Fund, @jfederations, the @azrielifoundation, and the Arison Foundation.

It was such a privilege to be representing Anglo Doctors in Israel - ADII for the very first time at the MEDEX conference in London today. The event was a huge success - with a palpable feeling of excitement, energy and dreams! Over 130 doctors and medical students came to explore their options in Israel, and the day was expertly executed - thanks to the incredible teams at Nefesh B' Nefesh and IMAP. To be sitting proudly amongst representatives of massive healthcare employers and government offices, was surreal. The rate in which our grassroots organisation supporting olim doctors has grown in the last year has blown me away. We have gone from a modest WhatsApp group to a massive, strong 700+ network of fantastic, aspirational physicians across Israel and a real player in the field of Aliyah and Integration. Our stand was constantly buzzing, with so many doctors and medical students coming over to chat - we got to meet ADII members who I'd been in contact with over WhatsApp and welcome new members to the fold. The feedback we got was amazing - with so many so grateful to have found their clan, and to feel that someone who understands them, has got their back. It was an encouraging reminder that the network, resources and support that we offer is so incredibly valuable and fills a very real gap in the medical Aliyah process. We are immensely grateful to Nefesh B'Nefesh for recognising the need for our community and supporting & encouraging us to keep building and strengthening ADII. And big appreciation to my husband Mikey Lebrett for sticking by my side and helping to turn my dreams and visions into something concrete. --- Anglo Doctors in Israel is the grassroots community providing all olim doctors with support, connections and resources to build a thriving career in Israel. www.anglodoctorsisrael.com
