After years abroad, they came back to Israel: ‘I regret not doing it sooner’
After 16 years in Australia and 20 years in the United States, two Israeli women returned home to war, soaring prices and constant questions about why they chose to come back now
‘They asked at the Interior Ministry: ‘Are you sure you want to be here?’’
Three months ago, Vered Shomer-Harel returned to Israel after 16 years living in a beautiful home surrounded by a large garden in the suburbs of Melbourne.
“I always knew my home was here, and I wanted to show my daughters that you have to follow your inner truth even when it’s complicated,” she says. “I hope I’m teaching them what courage is.”
