About Me: 

​

I made Aliyah on my own in 2018. Aside from some snacks, I had no food to speak of when I arrived at my new home. Luckily, a family friend came to the rescue and dropped off some gluten free food. My two years as a Bat Sherut helped me integrate and navigate Israeli society.  

​

Like many Olim, I ran into my fair share of bureaucratic and technical issues. With my passion for solving problems and research skills I dove right in. I’ve put together a huge amount of information, resources and connections about the bureaucratic process, shopping, and organizing an Israeli home. Every challenge was a new and exciting frontier. It’s been gratifying to help fellow Olim navigate Israeli life. My friends have often joked that I should create a blog of “Meira’s Tips and Tricks” to share my favorite life hacks.  

​

What m’ Bayit l’ Bayit is All About: 

​

It has been a dream of mine to share my knowledge and help current and incoming Olim avoid common issues. Making life in Israel easier one day at a time and making connections that often take years to establish. I to understand that sometimes we need a more hands on approach.  

​

After a difficult move, I furnished my first home. Many of my friends commented that my apartment felt like a home after a short time. I started helping friends and family furnishing and rearranging existing elements of their apartments. Transforming  house to a home. 

​

Over time, the idea of helping others with a smooth transition into Israeli life evolved into something beautiful. I started to understand the importance of a living space feeling like a home. Whether it is our own space or the country we live in, we should feel at home where we live. 

​

There are many stories of Olim arriving in the country and not having beds to sleep in on their first night. To me, this highlights a desperate need for new Olim to have basic needs available to them on their day of Aliyah. There is no reason that someone should arrive in Israel and not have a bed to sleep in or food for their first day.  

​

Through my work at m’ Bayit l’ Bayit, not only am I able to provide important information for many olim, I’m able to take a hands-on approach to provide personalized support for life in Israel.
