At this time, and since the establishment of the modern state of Israel, any person who has at least one Jewish grandparent can gain Israeli citizenship under the right of return laws. This is a separate issue from the question of who is an actual Jew.

No. In fact, as there is no such thing as a secular marriage in Israel, there can't be any intermarriage between any religious group. People who wish to marry someone of a different religion will get married outside of Israel, the marriage will be recognized once they return to Israel.

Israel's law of return guarantees citizenship to all Jews. (There are issues and debates about the definition of who is a Jew, and how you prove you are Jewish.)


What Israeli law brought Jews to Israel from many countries?

The Jewish Law of Return of 1950. It should be noted that the Law of Return does not provide any mechanism nor describes one for the bringing of foreign Jews into Israel. As such the Law does not cause Jews to come to Israel. Israel has conducted missions to certain countries such as Yemen and Ethiopia to bring those populations to Israel, but these are military missions in no way legally related to the Law of Return. What the Law of Return does do is grant immediate Israeli citizenship to any Jew who arrives in Israel and requests it.

If your mother was Christian and your father was Jewish and your aunt who lives in Israel is Jewish - are you allowed to go and live in Israel?

Sections 4a and 4b of the "Law of Return" should provide a suitable answer to this question.Rights of members of family4A. (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).Definition4B. 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."
