* Under Jewish law, an individual born of a Jewish mother is a Jew. Under modern Israeli law, anyone is allowed to come and live in Israel.
* The following information should respond more precisely to the original query.
Every country has restrictions on Immigration; Israel is no different. Israel's most important immigration law is the "Law of Return" from 1950. This law applies only to Jews and any non-Jewish family members they may have.
Two other immigration laws, which can apply to Jews and non-Jews alike, are the "Law of Entry to Israel" (1952) and the "Law of Citizenship" (1952).
The following information is excerpted from official Israeli Government documents. Sections 4a and 4b of the "Law of Return" should provide a suitable answer to this question.
Rights of members of family
4A. (a) The rights of a Jew under this Law and the rights of an oleh [immigrant] under the Nationality Law, 5712-1952, as well as the rights of an oleh under any other enactment, are also vested in a child and a grandchild of a Jew, the spouse of a Jew, the spouse of a child of a Jew and the spouse of a grandchild of a Jew, except for a person who has been a Jew and has voluntarily changed his religion.
(b) It shall be immaterial whether or not a Jew by whose right a right under subsection (a) is claimed is still alive and whether or not he has immigrated to Israel.
(c) The restrictions and conditions prescribed in respect of a Jew or an oleh by or under this Law or by the enactments referred to in subsection (a) shall also apply to a person who claims a right under subsection (a).
Definition
4B. For the purposes of this Law, "Jew" means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of another religion."
Amendment of section 5 2. In section 5 of the Law of Return, 5710-1950, the following shall be added at the end: "Regulations for the purposes of sections 4A and 4B require the approval of the Constitution, Legislation and Juridical Committee of the Knesset."
