i assume you're wife is an American...

You're wife doesn't know hebrew? that's the problem?? dude, dont worry... there are schools in Israel which she can learn hebrew in.. calm her down, you'll get along in time...

Hi Aviv and Hilary!

It really depends on where you decide to live - Some towns are full of Anglos (Ra'anana, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv for instance) and in some other places (like Dimona) you won't find a single soul you can talk to! That's an important parameter in deciding where to settle. You must have family here, Aviv, so ask them to do some research for you. I don't think you'll find ulpanin with mostly English speakers, we don't get that many olim who are native English speakers, compared to other languages. How old is Raz? He must be young, so he won't have any trouble. My daughter made aliya as a tot and she is now a bilingual adult. Anyway, keep in touch and good luck! Beth
