These are… “almost” street cats? Or at least- statues representing street cats.. which are present in abundance across the city. Statutes are a few months old, and look really nice in person! The text in Hebrew reads “Yes” on the cat on the right, and “No” for the left. On the second picture it has it printed in English script on the opposite side of the statue.
Yay for street cat statues!
Hi there, I’m from/currently living in Toronto, but am planning to make Aliyah in late July. It will actually be my
Second time doing so: I originally made Aliyah (through the Nefesh b Nefesh org process) in August 2020, so I’m already a citizen/have a valid TZ/ drivers license/darkon and all that stuff. I lived and worked (very happily) in TLV from late 2020-Oct 2023. After the trauma of 7th and the war etc, I decided to move back to Toronto full time and have been living here since then... but by now I’m so excited about moving back over.
So my actual question: what would be people’s suggestions for the cheapest, easiest or overall best way to ship roughly 6-8 boxes from Toronto- Israel. These boxes (standard sized moving boxes/bankers boxes) would contain important and sometimes fragile items. For me, cost/ ease/ reliability is far more important than speed of their delivery. I’d be ready to ship them out in the first week of July, and wouldn’t have a problem if it took a month or two even for them to arrive (presumably it will cost less based on the slower shipping timeframe?)
Does anyone have any personal experience with any specific companies/agencies etc that they’d recommend for this? Basically I’m not even sure where to start; short of like going on the main DHL website for consumer package delivery, but I’d be willing to bet that there are far better options than this.
I know many people making Aliyah go the route of renting and loading up a shipping container on a freighter boat with all of their stuff. But this isn’t an option for me: especially since I’m not planning on taking any furniture at all…just these boxes. So.. anybody able to offer any general advice or specific recommendations?
