So what is the bright side of NBN? It's the ubiquitous ads which I would image comprise a large part of their budget. Live the dream and all that nonsense.
In other words, the bright side doesn't exist. It's a marketing campaign.
I can't say that I hoped for much help from NBN when I got to Israel because they weren't that helpful in America either. They have a website. It contains some information. That's it really.
They don't have counselors, not real ones, ones that counsel. They have these spoiled ladies from Teaneck that don't even pretend to care about you. You meet for half an hour and any questions after that result in your being directed to the web site. It's always the web site.
NBN certainly doesn't tell you about the downside of aliyah or the dangers. They paint a rosy fantasy because they make a living from you making aliyah.
They don't tell you about the young people going off the derech. That's a big omission. Criminal.
