Pilot Trip Profiles

 

The Solomont Family

The Solomonts made Aliyah from Boston in July, 2003. They felt ready for aliyah after coming on a Tehilla Group Pilot Trip. On the pilot trip, the Solomonts were shown a wide selection of communities, and decided on Yeshuv Chashmonaim, where they are living today. The workshops and speakers were especially helpful in answering the many questions most potential olim might have.
