Israel: Citizenship by Descent
(Law of Return)

Israeli Citizenship for Persons of Jewish Descent

Israeli citizenship is primarily governed by the Law of Return, which grants every Jewish person the right to immigrate to and become a citizen of Israel. Andenhouse Advisors provides expert guidance to help you prove your Jewish heritage and secure your place in Israel.

Key Eligibility Pathways:

CBD-Israel Map
  • The Law of Return: The Law of Return grants the right to make Aliyah (immigrate to Israel) and obtain citizenship to any Jewish person. A Jewish person is defined as someone who was born to a Jewish mother or has converted to Judaism and does not practice another religion. This right also extends to the children, grandchildren, and spouses of a Jewish person.

  • Descent from Israeli Citizens: If one of your parents is an Israeli citizen at the time of your birth, you are eligible for Israeli citizenship, regardless of where you were born.
