Often, people need more documents proving their eligibility for repatriation to Israel. Can one take a DNA test at http://Ancestry.com to prove they are Jewish?
The Israeli government recognizes only those DNA tests performed with the authorization of the Israeli Family Court. This DNA examination is not intended to show some general connection to Jewish heritage for Aliyah to Israel but instead specifically prove that a person is related to an Israeli citizen or a known Jewish person. It’s crucial to understand that any other DNA result that will prove Jewish origins does not grant the right of a person to make Aliyah according to the Law of Return. Suppose the DNA Test result confirms that the person is related to an Israeli or a known Jewish person. In that case, the court orders the Israeli Ministry of Interior to register the person as an Israeli citizen.
We will expand our activities for more people as thousands who have the right to make Aliyah don’t have sufficient proof of eligibility for repatriation. We assist the applicants in submitting all the original documents to the Ministry of Interior, advise how to connect to archives in synagogues, and verify and authorize the needed documents. Global Aliyah has the experience and necessary networks globally and in Israel to help in this new situation.
