About the country

Israel has one of the world's strongest high-tech economies and a repatriation programme under the Law of Return (Aliyah) for people with Jewish ancestry: citizenship, support for new arrivals (the absorption basket), developed healthcare. A large Russian-speaking community makes settling in easier.
