Who does Israel allow to have dual citizenship?
Israel allows dual citizenship for those who immigrate to Israel based on Law of Return (aliyah): you have to be Jewish to qualify to hold dual citizenship in Israel.
Do Jewish Americans hold dual Israeli and American citizenship?
If you are Jewish and have moved or want to move to Israel through Aliyah, you can retain your US citizenship. If you are no Jewish and want to obtain Israeli citizenship by naturalization, you have to give up your American citizenship. * People who make Aliyah to Israel, are automatically granted full Israeli citizenship after residing there for one year. During that one year, they hold on to your American passport and give you an Israeli travel document (red coloured as oppose to the regular, blue coloured, national passport.)
What percentage of people who make aliyah do not stay in Israel?
Good question! I thought MOST people who made aliyah to Israel stayed there.
Who does Israel allow dual citizenship with?
For people who immigrate to Israel through Aliyah (Jews who return to Israel) may keep their other nationalities, given that the other country allows dual citizenship1. Non-Jews who immigrate to Israel and want to become a citizen through naturalisation, have to renounce their other nationalities if they can2 as Israel does not allow dual citizenship. 1 Example: Germany, Denmark and Norway do not allow dual citizenship but Canada, the US, the UK and France do. 2 Example: Greece does not allow any of its citizens to renounce their citizenship. Iranians have to get the approval of the Supreme Leader- which most of the time is not given.
What does aliyah mean in french?
Aliyah in French refers to immigration into Israel, specifically the immigration of Jews to the country.
If Diaspora is the term used to describe the Jewish dispersion what is the term to describe their return to Israel?
When a Jew moves to Israel, it is said that he/she is making Aliyah. Aliyah means arising, ascending, going up. It is said that moving to Israel is moving to a higher spiritual plane, thus the usage of the term aliyah. Aliyah is also used to refer to someone coming up to read from the Torah. However, Aliyah is not the proper opposite to Diaspora. Aliyah is what an individual does. The opposite of Aliyah is Yeridah, when a single person leaves Israel. The opposite of Diaspora, which is the communal dispersion of the Jewish people, is the communal return of the Jewish people to Israel. This return has not yet happened. There are still more Jews outside of Israel than inside of it. Such a return would likely be called the Geula or Redemption. Another opposite for the Exiling of the Jews (Diaspora) is Kibbutz Galuyot (Ingathering of the Exiles).
Can you pick a citizenship depending on your heritage?
That is called jus sanguinis (law of blood). Some countries such as Italy and Israel do that. You should contact the embassy of the country that relates to your heritage and see if you meet the eligibility. Example: if you are Jewish, you can move to Israel- called Aliyah- for a year. After that, you can get full Israeli passport.

What is an aliya?
Aliyah is a Hebrew word meaning that a Jew is returning home to their land, Israel. Many folks who are Jewish move back to Israel to be close to and live in the center of the Jewish people. I am planning on making Aliyah so I can live in Israel and live out the rest of my life as a Jew living amongst other Jews, where I can have a daily integration with other people who have the same beliefs as I have. It takes months of preparation. Once there, there are classes to take to learn Hebrew. Also, because I have not been an observant Jew, I would want to take classes to learn more about the Jewish faith and begin attending synagogue services and joining in with others for all the Holy Days and celebrations that the Jewish people hold so dear to their hearts. Making Aliyah is the life-long dream of many Jews!!Answer 2"Aliyah" is a Hebrew word that translates as "ascent", "climb", "up-going" etc. A Jew who receives the honor during the Sabbath synagogue service of walking to the reading table and witnessing the reading of a portion of the Torah is "given an Aliyah", and a Jew who migrates to live in Israel "makes aliyah"; ascends. That's the sense in which the word is used to describe emigration to Israel. It really tells you a lot about how such a move is viewed ... so much more than just a physical relocation.
Why you shouldn't make Aliyah?
