Costs and other details are subject to change. Throughout this booklet, the ◊ symbol denotes financial benefits to new immigrants that are provided by The Jewish Agency or the Government of Israel to help “soften your landing” to Israel. Most of them are offered to every new immigrant, but some depend on your personal situation; check with your local Aliyah Consultant or shaliach about your eligibility. Also note that the list of olim benefits is subject to change, and is not legally binding. Israel’s Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption is formally called the Misrad ha’Aliyah v’ha’Klitah in Hebrew. Colloquially, it is known simply as the Misrad Klitah. In this booklet we refer to it variously as the Misrad Klitah and the Immigration Ministry. Israel: Make Your Move 3 From the Desk of Your Head Shaliach Dear Olim, Congratulations. You are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime . literally. As you prepare for your Aliyah, there are not only loads of logistics and administrative details to take care of, but also the natural stress borne of picking up and starting over, from right to left. Our specially trained shlichim spend time with each and every oleh family to guide, explain, and clarify information for you, and to help you adjust to your new climate in theory, even before you do so in practice. We know that, in addition to our Aliyah preparation meetings (and our website, jewishagency.org/making-aliyah), you’ll periodically want easy access to information: answers to questions, key tips, or references to people or additional websites that can help you. We therefore created this Guide to Aliyah. In it, you will find answers to many of your queries – or the names of people who can answer them. We have organised the information here more or less in the order you’ll need it: basic steps of the planning process; comprehensive information (which of course you’ll want to read carefully during your planning stage) about finding employment, choosing a place to live, registering your children in school, purchasing a car, and the like; what to do at the airport once you’ve arrived in Israel; and bureaucratic matters you’ll have to take care of in your first few days or weeks in Israel. During this unique, stressful, and exciting stage of your life, we are here to help you navigate the life- changing adventure you are beginning as you Make Your Move – to Israel. Welcome home. Rael Goodman Executive Director, Head of Delegation to
