The Israel Houses
The Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption operates a unique project for maintaining contact with Israelis living outside Israel – the Israeli House. The main purpose is to offer counseling and guidance for those interested in returning home, and to provide personal support and counseling in planning the return.
At the "Israeli House" you will be able to obtain extensive information about the rights and assistance granted to returning residents, by filling out the registration form (Hebrew).
The coordinator of the Israeli House in your area can guide you on matters related to planning your return, such as the possibility of receiving assistance from the Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption, Customs, National Insurance regulations and arranging for health insurance, assistance with employment, the IDF induction process, and more.
The coordinator of the local Israeli House can also refer questions in writing on your behalf to the Returning Residents Division regarding complex matters requiring examination, and can provide you with an authoritative answer. All this renders the Israeli House an important tool in implementing the national policy for promoting return to Israel.
The Israeli House, an extension of the State of Israel abroad, is a reliable and supportive source of information and help for any Israeli interested in returning home.
