Hi Alon, I suffer from a mental illness. As I recover I'm looking for the best possible scenario for myself. I'm wondering, you say Israel is the best place for every Jew. I wonder if in my situation I should move to Israel. It is true while in Israel I was provided great care. But my family lives in the U.S. and I'm wondering if I get better what is the best place for me? Best wishes, Mordechai

Shalom, Unfortuantly it is a very hard question to answer over an email as it depends on many different factors such as: - Where to go in Israel - What to do in Israel - If you have the money and financial option of going to Israel - Support from your family And much more If you feel you will recover faster in Israel and at the same time grow spiritually more in Israel and you have where to go and what to do then Israel is a great place, but as I wrote above, it is a very difficult question to answer without having all the info around it to help make a decision If you wish, you can contact my personal assistant to book a phone call and we can talk briefly and hopefully I can help guide you better All the best, Rabbi Alon Anava
