We have been relocating for almost two years and are considering severing residency.
What rights do we give up when severing residency?
Disconnection of residency is in fact a disconnection from all the authorities in Israel. On the one hand – you will not be liable to pay tax on your income, but on the other hand there are other consequences such as disconnection from your social rights that you have accumulated over the years, disconnection from Social Security and your HMO.
It is also important to think about preserving your rights during the severance and understand whether it is right for you to sever residency or whether you will want to wait with it in order to enjoy the rights you deserve.

We plan to emigrate to the sand together with our adolescent children. We told them we were only moving for a year to make it easier for them emotionally.
When will be the right time to tell them the truth?
The relocation from Israel to a new country involves a lot of fears, anxieties and uncertainty.
In children and certainly adolescents the social environment is a very central factor in life and therefore the fear of revealing your “secret” is justified.
But as far as your child is concerned, he understands that in a year he will return to Israel to his friends. He is already starting to count the days back and arranges with his friends for a reunion meeting next summer .. When he finds out the truth he may be very angry but mostly very disappointed. This can be difficult for him, which is why we always recommend telling the truth.
There are many ways to tell the truth, and the truth may be difficult, but remember that in the end your children will appreciate your sincerity and your transparency towards them.
