From Australian judge to Israeli tour guide: David Parry's aliyah journey

David Parry, a former Australian District Court judge, retired early at 55 to make aliyah to Israel with his wife, Sharon, fulfilling a lifelong dream. They settled in Zichron Ya'acov, joining their four children and grandchild who had previously moved to Israel. David, who stated, "I felt the mission of my life was to get here," now works as a licensed tour guide, operating TourWiseIsrael.com and partnering with Israel Maven Tours to offer packages for English-speaking immigrants. Sharon, despite bureaucratic challenges in converting her physiotherapy degree, established MoveWiseActive.com to provide workshops on workplace health and fall prevention for seniors. The couple, married for 35 years, are building new lives in Israel, appreciating the Jewish rhythm of the country and hoping for an increase in tourism.
