The two nations that have mastered barbecuing are the Argentines and the Koreans. Compared to that, peasant food like falafel and cabbage soup must come up short.
Tangential: J, I'm making aliyah around the early fall (no bicycle this time.) Care to give some advice?
I often wonder what I would be like (actually there would be no me since my parents met in the US) if my father had not changed his mind about making aliyah.
Not unlikely - I have a 2nd cousin in Israel and he is a physician. Ashkenazim tend to end up in the learned professions wherever they are. Still, Sabras are different creatures than American Jews.
Unfortunately, it's not worth the struggle to join the learned profession of medicine in Israel since the socialist system doesn't pay anything. K's cousin would probably be better off as a bus driver.
Yes, you need much patience to remain sane here. But in the end everything is all right.
Regarding physicians, they earn more here than in the USA. A typical salary of a 30 y.o. doctor is about 10,000 dollars a month and he makes another 10,000 in private practice.

It varies by specialty. Some subspecialized doctors in the U.S. can beat those numbers for now (e.g. cardiothoracic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, dermatologists). They're all pretty much at least 30 if not significantly older by the time they finish training, though. It would not surprise me if general practitioners and non-procedural internists do better in Israel.

...when you like felafel more than carne asada.

No one ever reaches that point alive.

You would be drawing up the legal papers for the sale of ECI to RussAtom.

Savlanut?
I'm working on Hebrew from the Chumash bit by bit, but as you know, immersion is required.
Salvanut = Be Patient. Because there will be (many) times when Israel(is) will try your patience.

May be I exaggerated. At 30 they are finishing their training. They start earning good money at about 35 - 40.
