Your Aliyah journey
Seven connected stages.
What happens after you start?
A person helps guide the next stage.
After the initial questionnaire, the Jewish Agency’s published process includes contact with an Aliyah Account Manager who reviews your details and helps you understand what happens next.
Don’t worry if…
You don’t have every document ready.
This stage begins the process and clarifies what your circumstances require. Complicated family history may simply need a clearer explanation or further information.
