Aliyah As A Convert

[Adam]

Can I make Aliyah if I converted to Judaism?

Real Answer:
Yes, 100%! I’m a convert myself (Orthodox, for reference), and while it wasn’t the easiest ride, it’s very doable. Just prepare thoroughly:

• You'll need a conversion certificate, a letter from the beit din, and a timeline of your observant life since conversion.
• If you're from a smaller community, expect more questions or possible review by the Israeli Chief Rabbinate or the Interior Ministry.

Keep all documents organized, and be ready to explain your journey openly and clearly. Most importantly, don’t give up. People make Aliyah as converts all the time!
