Coming Home by Choice—How Nefesh B’Nefesh Revolutionized Aliyah

We’re thrilled to premiere Season 7 of On The House! In previous seasons, we explored how to buy a home in Israel — the process, the taxes, the legalities, and the risks. But this season, we’re going deeper. It’s not just about buying a home — it’s about making Israel your home. And there’s no better way to begin than with Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, a visionary who turned personal tragedy into a historic movement that has helped nearly 100,000 Jews not just make Aliyah — but stay, grow, and thrive in Israel.

In this inspiring and wide-ranging conversation, Rabbi Fass shares:

  • His personal journey from a prestigious pulpit in Florida to founding Nefesh B’Nefesh.
  • How Nefesh B’Nefesh transformed Aliyah into a journey of hope, not fear.
  • The four pillars of Nefesh B’Nefesh today.
  • How the events of October 7th have fueled a renewed surge in Aliyah interest around the world.
  • Honest insights into the sacrifices, mindset shifts, and values needed to build a real life in Israel.
  • How NBN is addressing the housing crisis with bold initiatives to create more affordable options for Olim and Israelis alike.
  • The vision for the next decade — and the bold new directions Nefesh B’Nefesh is heading.

This episode is heartfelt, visionary, and packed with practical wisdom for anyone dreaming about Aliyah or passionate about the future of the Jewish people.
