Ofek Yisraeli - Aliyah Promotion Company
Founded in 2015

The Ofek Yisraeli company was set up by The Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization on
the basis of a decision of the Government of Israel in June 2014 “to set up a national project for the
promotion of aliyah to Israel from all countries of the world”.
The company runs hundreds of diverse programs of aliyah promotion as a national project of the
Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption, carried out through The Jewish Agency, WZO and
Keren Hayesod. The Government of Israel, in light of the success of the program, committed at the
end of 2017 to providing 72 million shekels to the project for the next three years (2018-2020).
The process of planning the programs, which are joint programs of the company, the Ministry,
Jewish Agency, WZO and Keren Hayesod, brings together the knowledge and experience of all the
partners and takes into account changing global trends affecting those eligible for aliyah.
The company operates in 22 countries: The FSU: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldava, Georgia,

Chile, Venezuela; Europe: United Kingdon, France, Belgium, Hungary, Germany; Africa: South
