Mini-Intro to Aliyah - Cultural Tips

This section is for those considering aliyah or who are recent olim.

I can't tell you the technical aspects of what to bring and the like because I'm too far from that stage. But experience (both mine and others) has given me some thoughts on the cultural transition, which I hope you'll find helpful.
May you have tremendous hatzlacha and bracha while performing this all-important mitzvah!
