A topic we hear mentioned a lot, especially regarding living in Israel is that of whether it is possible to obtain or establish financial stability in Israel. Yesterday we had the good fortune to meet with Rabbi Moshe Silberhaft the Traveling Rabbi of Southern Africa. In our discussion, Rabbi Silberhaft mentioned that many are becoming stuck in the country they find themselves due to financial commitments, obligations or reaching an age that they are no longer part of the work force.
What can one do to help to establish financial stability? What can one do to be able to live the dream that is within the heart of every Jew, that of living in the land of Israel?
Usually, when one thinks of earning, working and financial stability, the main trend of thought is obtain a job, work 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. or even work a few jobs, earn a salary and there is your financial stability. The truth is that life is not so simple. Many events happen in life that take one off on another direction or will challenge your belief that working a salaried job is the final and only answer to financial stability.
