The Israeli House, an extension of the State of Israel abroad, is a reliable and supportive source of information and help for any Israeli living or visiting abroad. It operates as part of the Israeli Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption at embassies and consulates abroad.

The Israeli House is a unique department for maintaining contact with Israelis living outside the country. It offers services aiming to preserve an Israeli connection and identity for its audience. It serves as a meeting place for Israelis, where they can express their Israeli identity, in a Hebrew-speaking environment, and experience Israel's public holidays and religious festivals by participating in social and cultural activities.

The Israeli House also provides Israelis returning to Israel and others planning on immigrating to Israel guidance such as: assistance from the Ministry of Immigration and Absorption; assistance with employment, customs, national insurance regulations; help arranging for health insurance; and assistance with the IDF induction process.
