returning to israel
hi there, i really need advice here as i do not want to make any mistakes.. we live in the uk now - me , my husband (non jewish) and three girls. we went to israel first time on 97 before married and lived there for 4 years and got married in cyprus. we had such a difficult time regarding getting residency for my husband and on top of other problems we gave up and left back to the uk..now the girls are getting older and i do want to go back and make a go of it . my husband loves the country and the culture and said that if there is no other way he will convert... 1. what do you know regarding returning as a mixed family to israel..i am not looking for any financial help from the country( i do not think return citizen should get any help anyway) - i am asking regarding my husband's situation..will he have to go through everything again? ( turist visa then after 6 month we applied for working permit and only after 3 years temperalrly resident and then after another 5 years permenant resident???). 2. i live in the midland in the uk and i would like to arrange hebrew lessons for the kids and hubby..does anyone know where i can get information about this? 3. where can we find about reform convertion in the uk and what does this involve? 4.is it a must for a man who gets converted to have circumcis? i heard that there is a movement in israel against this? thanks
