About Shivat Zion

Home > About Shivat Zion

Shivat Zion Aliyah and Absorption (R.A.) is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging Aliyah, simplifying the Aliyah process, and supporting a smooth integration into Israeli life for Jewish individuals and families. We accompany Olim from their first consideration of Aliyah through full settlement and integration in Israel.

Our professional team—many of whom are Olim themselves—understands the complexities of the journey and the unique challenges faced by those coming from the countries we serve. All of our services for Olim are provided completely free of charge.

Shivat Zion is recognized by and works in collaboration with governmental bodies, the Ministry of Aliyah & Klita, the Jewish Agency, municipalities, and other NGOs. Our role is complementary: we connect Olim with the right resources, provide reliable information, and help resolve challenges through our network of partners.

In accordance with our guiding principles, we prioritize Olim First, collaborate with other organizations whenever possible, and provide unwavering support to any Oleh or Toshav Chozer in need.

Shivat Zion focuses primarily on Aliyah from the United Kingdom and European Union countries (excluding France), as well as several smaller Western European Jewish communities outside the EU. We also provide information support throughout the Aliyah process and offer long-term integration guidance for Olim from Latin America.

We will persist in this mission until the last Jew who wishes to make Aliyah does so successfully.
