How
can I check if I (or one of my parents) ever had Israeli
citizenship?
The Israeli
diplomatic mission can check your and both of your parents
citizenship
status. This might take a few weeks, or even longer.
I am not an Israeli citizen. If I made aliyah
(opted for Israeli
citizenship) upon my arrival to Israel, would I qualify for the
Mahal
IDF program?
If you prefer the Mahal IDF
programs, do not opt
for Israeli citizenship upon your arrival in Israel but only
after discharge
from the IDF.
It is not Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire, but Israeli citizenship which is
relevant. Volunteers
with Israeli citizenship do not qualify for the 14 (18) months
IDF service
through the Mahal IDF
programs. Note: the regular
IDF service called Shlav
Bet, might be shorter than the Mahal IDF programs for
non-Israeli
citizens and the Tzofim
Garin Tzabar program for Israeli citizens.
