Hello. It is my understandind that within the first year you have to get a special letter from a government office that allows you to leave the country, this is to prevent people from getting the money the gov. gives olim and running. Also, when you leave your benefits keep going but you don't get them because you are out of the country. Also the benefits do not freeze while you are away. I think the Jewish Agency would be able to answers your questions in a more exact way but I hope I helpped a little. Good luck.
