Imagine that you are going to Israel next year. What would you do to prepare for it?

If I just travel to Israel for several days , I think it’s easy to prepare. I just need to get a Visa, book a round trip ticket and a hotel. But if I want to study there, I should prepare a lot of things. First of all, I should prepare a lot of money to afford my tuition, accommodation and living expenses. Think about this I feel a lot of pressure. Second, I should leave Arabic,and I know this language is hard to learn, no matter how hard it is, I should learn it immediately, and I think one year is not enough. Third, I should quit my job and handle my financial issues. Think about all of these things, I think a good way to go to Israel is transfer my job to there. I don’t need to worry about losing my income, and I can learn what I want to learn on my free time.
