The following is an overview of the steps that you will need to take, in order to plan Aliyah successfully.
- Our online Aliyahpedia is a comprehensive resource providing information about all areas relating to a successful Aliyah. For example professional licensing, starting a business, finding the right schooling, Aliyah benefits, housing resources and healthcare options.
- For a listing of communities in Israel, please see our Community Database.
- For a listing of schools throughout Israel, please see our School Database.
- For assistance and guidance regarding employment in Israel, please contact our Employment Department.
- You may also address any Aliyah related questions and concerns to our professional staff of Pre-Aliyah advisors at the Nefesh B’Nefesh call center at 1-866-4-ALIYAH (toll free).
- Nefesh B’Nefesh staff regularly travel to North America and the UK to run seminars and conduct personal Aliyah meetings. If you would like to register, please see our online calendar.
- If you are in Israel, we invite you to schedule meetings with our Pre-Aliyah and Employment Departments by calling 02-659-5800.
If you are making Aliyah with children, keep in mind that school registration usually takes place during the winter months, so it may be wise to schedule your trip for then, if possible.
