Answer 5

Dear, as far as I am informed even people who only had a Jewish grand father are allowed to make Aliyah... that’s why there are actually so many Russians who do not have any idea what "Jewish" really means come into Israel. Most of them do not make Aliyah because they feel part of Israel or they have suddenly found their Jewish roots. They simply prefer to live anywhere where life is better than in Russia...

In your case it would be very easy to make Aliyah, because every person born from a Jewish mother is Jewish.

But please ask yourself first if you are really ready to live in Israel and be a real part of society there with all its consequences.

What I simply want to say is, that if you decide to make Aliyah, then do it with your heart and a firm compromise to become part of the Israeli society and defeat its rights.

Unfortunately nowadays there are too many people coming to Israel just to be supported by public welfare and these guys do not even stand up for their country.

Good luck!
