Introduction
Aliyah—the immigration of Jews to Israel—is the process by which Jews from the Diaspora return to their historic homeland.
This process is regulated by the Law of Return (1950), which grants the right to Israeli citizenship to all Jews, as well as their children, grandchildren, and even non-Jewish spouses.
Aliyah is also available to individuals who have converted to Judaism (via recognized conversion).

Historical Background of Aliyah
The history of Jewish return to the Land of Israel stretches back to biblical times and continues through the present day.
Throughout history, Jews have sought to reunite with their people and live in their ancestral homeland.
Modern Aliyah began in the late 19th century and remains ongoing.
The Aliyah Process
1. Eligibility Review and Document Preparation
The Aliyah process begins with confirming eligibility under Israel’s Law of Return.
Applicants are required to collect and prepare official documents, which typically include:
- Birth, marriage, and (if applicable) divorce certificates
- Documents proving Jewish ancestry (such as birth certificates of parents or grandparents, synagogue or community records)
- A valid passport and additional identification
- Recent passport-sized photographs
Certain documents may require apostille certification and, in some cases, official translation into Hebrew.
▶ To avoid delays, errors, or unnecessary requests from Israeli authorities, we strongly recommend consulting with our professionals for an initial eligibility review and proper document preparation.
2. Application Submission
Aliyah applications are submitted through The Jewish Agency for Israel or an Israeli consulate abroad.
Applicants must complete detailed questionnaires and submit all required documents for examination.
▶ Our company provides full assistance with application completion, document submission, and coordination with the relevant authorities.

Applicants attend a personal interview conducted by representatives of the Jewish Agency or the Israeli consulate.
During the interview:

Archival and Genealogical Document Research
In cases where proof of Jewish ancestry is missing, incomplete, or inconsistent, professional archival research is often required.
While many genealogical services focus on general family history, Israeli authorities apply strict legal standards when reviewing documents for Aliyah eligibility.

Key Sources of Documentation
