Travel Info Can the son of a Jew take advantage of Israel's Law of Return? If the son converted from Judaism to Christianity? The law of return permits the children and grandchildren of Jews to take up Israeli citizenship in Israel, however, does this apply to the son of a Jew, if the son, in fact had a bar mitzvah and then converted to Christianity? Travel Tips Yes, just let them know you are christian by religion. Your parents or parent is Jewish. Being a christian is just being religious. But by heritage you are Jewish. You are still Jewish even if you are not part of Judaism religion. You are a child of Jewish parents and by heritage you are Jewish. Converting to different religions from a child doesn't take away the fact that you are Jewish. You simply don't practice Judaism. Others The State of Israel does not have a clue that you converted to Christianity.....if you want to go to Israel go for it, I don't think they have Jewish spies taking pictures of every Jew turned Christian as they leave the baptismal font! Good luck. No, the Law of Return specifically excludes voluntary converts to other religions. If you have converted to another religion, you do **not** qualify to take advantage of the Right of Return: 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. http://www.lectlaw.com/files/int16.htm... According to the Israeli supreme court "any Jew converting to another religion would lose their preferential access to Israeli citizenship. (Rufeisen v Minister of the Interior, (1962) 16 PD 2428)" The individual would still be able to immigrate to Israel, but just not under the law of return. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/tw... |
