“I have often thought about making aliya, but for familial reasons, I was tethered to Canada,” Novack wrote the Post, referring to the Hebrew word for immigration to Israel. “Whenever I go to Israel, I experience a sense of calm. It is because I don’t have to explain, or justify or excuse. I can be who I am in a way that I cannot in Canada.”
