Planning Your Aliyah

Making Aliyah is one of the most exciting decisions you can make. This comprehensive guide covers everything from the initial application process through Nefesh B'Nefesh to settling into your new neighborhood.

Step 1: Eligibility

Under the Law of Return, anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent is eligible for Aliyah. You'll need to gather documentation including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and proof of Jewish heritage.

Step 2: Choosing Your City

Israel offers diverse living options from the bustling streets of Tel Aviv to the historic neighborhoods of Jerusalem, the tech hub of Herzliya, and the family-friendly communities of Ra'anana and Modi'in.
