• I am a single female preferably looking for an apartment I can live in alone. I am currently renting a very small apartment in Rehovot for 1300 NIS per month. The size is not an issue, I don't need much, the problem is that it has so much mould in it, it has become a health concern. I am currently studying in the local ulpan. I made aliyah through Nefesh B'Nefesh and the Jewish Agency. Initially the Jewish Agency promised to place me in an absorption center, however one week before my aliyah date, they informed me that I would need to find my own private accommodation. Now that I am in Israel, neither organization will help. Anyways, if you think you might know of a place for rent, I would be grateful for the help.
  Thank you, Angela - [please make contact via Chaya Tannor, 052 6991433]
