About Us

"Israela" operates in many countries around the world in close cooperation with the Ministry of Aliyah and Absorption, the Jewish Agency, KKL-JNF, "Bnei Akiva" and the global Mizrahi movement.

The organization was founded in France 32 years ago by Shalom Vach and specializes in the Aliyah and absorption of family groups.

"Israela" is currently led by Golan Vach and an experienced professional team.

Our Aliyah Model

For years, we have been implementing a unique model for the immigration and absorption process built on three components:

Grouped Aliyah

The Olim families are organized and consolidated by the association as a supportive and strong group ready for a shared challenge.

Two years of escorting

We provide a professional and personal framework, starting from a year before Aliyah to a year after, in learning the Hebrew language, finding employment, and integrating into the community.

Community absorption

We locate communities in Israel that are interested in absorbing Aliyah and prepare them for this in all aspects: housing, educational institutions, adoptive families and...friends for the children.

What does the Aliyah process with Israela involve?

In the year before the Aliyah:

We are holding an online introductory interview with you, the potential families.

Personal meeting with families in their countries of origin ("We come to you").

Seminar abroad: We will have a sabbatical to build the group, to get to know the "Israela" team and representatives of the receiving communities.

Study tour in Israel: Those interested come to Israel for an exciting tour where they will get to know the receiving communities and who will be their adoptive families.

Preparation for Aliyah through professional lectures on Zoom with the best lecturers in their fields in the areas of education, health, and finance.

Meet with each other, without us, and build for yourselves the "pride of unity" and the sense of partnership.

Enroll your children with our help in your preferred educational institutions.

We will help you find an apartment that suits you and sometimes even furnish it according to your budget.

During the Aliyah:

We will arrive at the airport to greet you with singing, a hug (and sometimes with a few tears).

When you arrive home: There will be a "Welcome" sign on the door and you will enter a tidy apartment.

After the kids go to bed, you can both sit down with hot coffee and thank each other for deciding to come up.

In the year after Aliyah:

You will learn Hebrew in the Ulpan.

Your children are our top priority: A special teacher from us will accompany your children in educational institutions and ensure that they succeed, in language, with their friends and with their teachers.

The group is assigned a project manager on our behalf who will live next door to you and help you with any problems for a year and a half.

The project manager will also accompany you through all the first steps: issuing an ID card, opening a bank account, and registering with a health insurance fund.

We will then organize tours, excursions, and educational and cultural activities that will help you better get to know your beautiful country and its people.

Our communities

So far, dozens of groups have immigrated to Israel with us and have been successfully absorbed in the following places:

Nahariya, Haifa, Givat Shmuel, Jerusalem, Netanya, Hadera, Or Akiva, Bruchin, Eli, Ofra, Yakir, Hispin, Ravva, Paduel, Kochav Yaakov, Kfar Adumim, Netivot.

What characterizes Israel's absorption places?

A receptive community

People who are willing to open their hearts and families who are interested in adopting you.

Affordable housing

We are interested in enabling both families who cannot afford expensive rent to join the group and those who are more established to purchase an apartment in the future.

Good educational institutions

that are appropriate for the emerging group and its characteristics.

Employment potential

There is a great potential for jobs in its surroundings within a 45-minute drive.

Public transportation

Wide range of public transportation (buses and trains)

Testimonials

"I want to thank God for allowing me to immigrate in this way. In the year since I immigrated, I have said "thank you" more than in any other year of my life."

"People have a mistake when they think that she is anything other than the best decision I made in my life, for me and my children."

"I started the aliyah process two years ago, to immigrate with Israel is to be embraced and wrapped, from the beginning of the journey to the end of the absorption process."

“The PIlot Trip was our key to the future. By exploring Israel , we saw our future taking shape before us. Choosing our living environment with confidence was made possible thanks to this hands-on immersion.”

"Coming back from this Pilot Trip was a revelation. We came back enchanted, convinced that this experience had removed our doubts. Meeting the communities, visualizing our future daily life reinforced our decision to make Aliyah with the ADG (Israela). "

“This trip was a bridge between two worlds for us. We returned to France filled with enthusiasm and certainty. Imagining our children in schools, discovering the neighborhoods, it was like a glimpse of our lives to come.”

"The lectures were our guide before our departure. They clarified every aspect of life in Israel. Thanks to the experts, we found precise answers to our specific concerns, such as the equivalence of diplomas and the education system.”

"Great sessions in the preparation process. Each session was like another essential step. They cleared up our doubts about shipping, taxes, health. Each answer was another stepping stone in our solid preparation."

"The lectures were very beneficial before Aliyah. Every crucial topic was dissected, from the banking system to healthcare procedures. The answers to our questions strengthened our resolve and confidence. We knew what to expect, and that made all the difference ."

“Finally, talks with relevant content. They were essential to understand the necessary budget, the administrative formalities, and above all to have clear answers to our questions, thus consolidating our confidence in our move to Israel.”
