My husband is experienced in construction (all sorts). He's looking for a job after Succos in the Tri-State area.

can you post a picture of his muscles (for shalva of course)?

They must bulge perfectly, apparently.

There definitely is an art to biceps flexing, and it must be perfected for me to notice it.

Shalva isn't the only female here who likes muscle-y men.



I'm sure I can scrounge up some others.

Somehow, I'm guessing that the three states you had in mind weren't Arizona, Nevada, and California.

Pity, because otherwise, I'd know of a job. . .

Yes, but does it get you into a tizzy?

You're leaving Israel?

Yes, unfortuantely, unless there are any really good paying jobs for my husband in Israel.

No construction jobs in Israel?

ETA: Oh, "good paying"...

I guess you won't have to make friends with that girl after all.

Is your husband a contractor or a construction worker? I'd imagine it would be hard to be a religious Jewish construction worker.

He's a contractor, I guess. He buuilds things and fixes things.

That sounds more like a handyman.

Is he licensed?

Are you guys moving back?

a handyman build houses?


Look above

There's a big difference between construction worker, contractor, and handyman. Is he able to put a new deck on a house or redo someone's bathroom? Or, is he the guy who comes over and fixes the rickety metal railing on the front steps of someone's house?

hmm... well welcome back to the states.

Count me out. I'm not into the bulgy types.

Why do you say so? My friend's husband is a religious, Jewish, construction, worker.

He does both.


I don't wanna go back! I'll do anything to stay here!

I doubt that. If you really were willing to "do anything" you'd be staying.

Well what do you suggest I do, hm?

look for a job doing something else if that isnt available..

Been there, done that. The options are very slim cuz he'd be working illegally.

Move to Monsey. There are gazillion jobs off the books. Me and my dad are the only two people who actually pay taxes.

I didn't mean in America.

There are tons of things. Even in Israel. They're not exactly legal but they pay the bills.

AHEM.

You need to get out more, Bri.

Statement. No substance.


Umein.

There are legal things too. It's not that difficult to get a work permit, or work online from a company in the states, or if you are as serious about staying as you claim you are then you can make aliyah.

We've looked hon. There is nothing right now that my husband can do.


EW!

Where are you living now? People that really want to stay don't live in the middle of yerushalayim and say they can't afford to stay.
I think your material standards and comforts might be more important to you than staying in E"Y. You should examine that.

No comment.

In my opinion, I wouldn't be going to E"Y and not live in Yerushalaim. For me to live in Beitar or Bet Shemesh or Kiryat Sefer would be stupid. If I can't be in Yerushalaim, not worth it IMO.

Go ahead. Throw tomatoes.

And Mordichai.


Yeah I know.

Well Duh! I may have been spoiled in the past but trust me, not anymore.

And TDP. And her sisters.

Nu, anyone got any job ideas?

IDT like everyone else???

Oy! I meant for my husband in America.

Their main HQ is in New Jersey.........

Since when do you live in Monsey?

Irrelevant. That's not the area my husband is interested in.

And when you say the tri state area you mean.?.?.?

So the order of prefrence is Yerushalaim, USA, outside of Yerushalim in Israel?

Uh, Ok.



And I was talking about <gasp> another city completely. Not a suburb a y'lem. Unbelievable, I know. That people live in other places.


Do you not believe in the rest of E"Y being holy and stuff? <scratches head>
