Which Jew Can? Aliya!

Can Reform jews make aliya? Will it be difficult for them to make aaliya? Or would they have to convert to orthodox or conservative branches just to qualify. I was reading the laws of the right to return , and it didnt specify which jews are eligible. Any info would be appreciated.

All Jews

Hi The law of return doesn't exclude any Jew from making Aliyah. You have to prove that you are Jewish or you have at least one Jewish grandparent, or that you have legitimately converted to a recognised branch of Judaism (which includes the Reform Movement). Your local Jewish Agency's Aliyah department can tell you which documents you will need to prove that you fit these criteria and can guide you through everything.
