KEF, say no more

It's always good to indicate where in The States you are. Some of
the companies seem to be regional. In addition to Strand, two other
companies which are highly regarded are KEF and Sonigo, the company I
used and which I would recommend to anybody. These companies and
others are listed on the NBN website with contact information. Get
more than one estimate, compare, and bargain In the process, you
will get a sense of which company you feel most comfortable working
with.

Mazal tov on your decision to join us in this never-dull Land.

Happy w/ Tober, Jewish labor

I used Tober shipping company and I was very happy with their prices
and excellent service. Also a big plus is that they use Jewish labor
in Eretz Israel and everything arrived in perfect condition.

Zamir: driving instructor in Rehovot

ZAMIR did a great job and only required two lessons.

Always find out how many lessons will be required before giving
the instructor your papers. Some of them will demand 10-20 lessons
if they think they can take advantage of you.

Zamir's number is 054-434-5300.

Fabric Store in Jerusalem

Our dressmaker sent us to a good fabric store, Bad be Bad.
We shopped around and did not find one to compare to
the quality. The choices are not as vast as some other
stores, but what they have to choose from is excellent.

Rosetta Stone

Rosetta Stone is pretty good and helps especially in putting words
together and understanding sentences. My biggest problem is lack
of vocabulary and I have found a free download program that is the
best vocabulary builder I have found anywhere, and believe me, I
looked at or tried just about everything, including ulpan. The address
is http://www.byki.com/ You can download the
software for free and then the language lists. The one you pay for
really isn't that much more than the free one so free is good. The
one you pay for gives you a few extra word lists. With that and
Rosetta Stone you would have an excellent comprehensive program.

Childbirth Classes recommendation

I saw that SARA ZADOK advertised childbirth preparation classes,
and I just want to voice a hearty recommendation for her. Her classes
are informative, empowering, and fun. She is also a terrific birth
assistant--she helped me deliver two of my babies and her calm,
strong presence (not to mention her wonderful back massage!)
really grounded me and helped me tremendously.

Dentists and kupat cholim info

Most supplementary programs provide for what they call dental coverage.
What that means is that you can go to the dental clinic by the same name
as the kupat cholim and you will get a discounted price. The clinics are
loosely connected to the kupat cholim but are actually privately run clinics
that offer the discount to members of the specific kupat cholim. Yes you
can get a discount on orthodontics. There is discount varies from kupah
to kupah, but I would say and average of 10%.
