If you’re an expat living in Israel and you’ve moved here in the past few years, you’ve most likely heard of Secret Tel Aviv – a Facebook group, website, and newsletter that together form the largest active English-speaking community in Israel.

The man behind the initiative is 34-year-old Jonathan Stark, a strategy consultant from Manchester, UK, who made Aliyah in 2009. On this episode of Journeys, we host Stark to hear about some of the challenges facing new Olim.

Whether you’re contemplating making Aliyah, have recently moved to Israel, or just happen to know someone who has, tune in to hear how the Secret Tel Aviv community may be able to help.

And if you’re in Tel Aviv today or tomorrow, check out Secret Tel Aviv’s two-day Expo event, where 25 sought-after Olim businesses will be showcased in partnership with the Dizengoff Center.
