After law school at Boston University, a stint in the DA's office, and managing a few election campaigns, Jay Ruderman's career was on track professionally and politically. But before entering private law practice, he decided "to give Israel a try." A two-month stay in 1998 set a new direction for his life. This month, he and his family are moving there permanently.

"I love America - it's the land of my birth and a symbol of freedom for the world. But Israel is the homeland for the Jewish people, and that's what draws me," says the orthodox Jew from Brookline, Mass.

I think anyone who feels more loyal to a country than the one they live in should go there. Why do we want citizens we feel no loyalty the the US?

they're doing it (i would think) for religious reasons.

i cannot fathom that myself at this point in life, but i cannot attack it either. and i assume the great majority are law-abiding, hard-working americans.

I think America can survive without them. More power to em and I would encourage more people to move to where there hearts, minds and money are.
