It's clear that if Ivy League graduates stayed in the United States, they would succeed more than if they came to Israel. They would have a larger salary, a clearer career path and a successful one, and a higher standard of life.

And yet still, there are 4,000 graduates living here in Israel, both Americans who immigrated to Israel and Israelis who studied abroad and chose to come back.
