No more excuses. Come home.
My name is Yuri. I made aliyah in 2021 with my family, from the United States, and I built Aliyahu because the hardest part of coming home was never the decision. It was everything after it.
Watch the story
Four minutes on what aliyah actually took, and why this exists.
The part nobody warns you about
Aliyah is the easiest big decision I ever made and the hardest thing I have ever done. The dream is clear. The logistics are a fog. The information contradicts itself from one page to the next. The appointment you need does not exist for three months. Benefits worth real money expire in silence because nobody told you the clock was running. Your salary resets and your Hebrew is not ready and you are supposed to be grateful and settled while quietly drowning in forms.
I lived that. Almost everyone I know who made aliyah has the same scars, and the maddening thing is that none of it is secret. The rules exist. The benefits exist. The deadlines exist. They are just scattered across a dozen stale PDFs, closed Facebook groups and government pages last updated years ago, presented as current, half of them wrong.
So I built the thing I needed
Aliyahu is the operating system I wish I had had: every benefit, deadline, rule and number in one place, each one dated, sourced and marked with how far you can trust it. When a fact goes stale, the site says so out loud instead of quietly lying to you. It runs the clocks that cost people thousands when they miss them. It tells you the truth about the Hebrew-only walls and the appointments and the income step-down, because a soft lie helps no one who is actually moving.
It is free. It has no ads. It has nothing to sell you and no marketplace skimming your decisions. It is one person keeping it current, funded by whoever decides it was worth a coffee.
Why I care this much
Because I believe in mass aliyah, and I am tired of watching good people talk themselves out of it over things that are, genuinely, solvable. Not the real fears, the ones that deserve respect. The logistics. The uncertainty. The not knowing where to start. Those are not reasons. Those are a documentation problem, and a documentation problem is exactly the kind of thing one determined person and a lot of careful work can fix.
So here it is, as good as I can make it. The excuses are gone. Make aliyah already.
