There are many reasons why people convert to Judaism, and one of the most common reasons is because they want to move to Israel. Israel is the only country in the world where Judaism is the dominant religion, and it is also the only country with an official language of Hebrew. Moving to Israel and converting to Judaism is a very big decision, and it is not something that should be taken lightly. There are a few things that you need to consider before you make this decision.

If you want to become a resident of Israel, you’ll need to apply for a visa and then work. You can visit Israel for up to 90 days without a visa, but if you want to stay and work, you’ll need to visit the local immigration office and apply for a residence permit. From there, you can apply for temporary residence—and eventually permanent residence, if you qualify.
Does Israel allow dual citizenship
Dual citizenship is widely accepted in Israel and about 10% of the country’s population has dual citizenship. The Israeli Government, the Knesset, has never tried to fully restrict dual citizenship. This policy allows people of different nationalities to have a strong connection to Israel. It also allows people to keep their ties to their homeland and their citizenship.
There is no way for a Jew to leave Judaism, regardless of if s/he was born a Jew or converted. Although a person may formally and ritually convert to another religion, according to the halakhah s/he remains a Jew.
What is the first step to converting to Judaism?
There are a few things you need to do if you want to convert to Judaism. You should discuss possible conversion with a rabbi, study Jewish beliefs, history, rituals and practices, learn some Hebrew, and get involved with Jewish community life. You also need to believe in G-d and the divinity of the Torah, and agree to observe all 613 mitzvot (commandments) of the Torah. Finally, you need to agree to live a fully Jewish life.

How much money do I need to live comfortably in Israel?
If you’re looking to live cheaply in Israel, you’ll need to be careful about your budget for rent. Rent is the most expensive item in Israel, and can eat up a large chunk of your monthly income. However, once you’ve covered your rent, everything else is relatively reasonable. Spending around $2000/month should be enough to cover your other expenses.
Whether you’re looking for work in Israel or simply want to be able to communicate with locals, it’s a good idea to start learning some Hebrew before you arrive in the country. Fortunately, English is widely spoken in Israel, so you should be able to find a job even if you don’t know any Hebrew. However, locals will always appreciate the effort if you can speak at least a few basic words and phrases in their language.
Can you marry two wives in Israel
The law against bigamy in Israel is designed to protect people from being married to more than one person at the same time. This law is in place regardless of the religion of the person attempting to marry. If a person tries to marry a second spouse while already married, they can be punished with up to five years in jail. The law is not often enforced, however, so it is important to be aware of the potential consequences if you are considering marrying someone who is already married.

What is forbidden in Judaism
Treif food is not permitted for consumption by Jewish people. This includes animals that have not been slaughtered in the correct way, shellfish, and pork products. Shechitah is the kosher method of animal slaughter and requires that the animal’s throat be cut with a sharp knife by a shochet.
There are a number of activities that are prohibited for Jewish people during the Sabbath. These activities include driving, using any electric device, cooking, shopping or handling money. A Jewish person is not even allowed to carry any object outside of their home.
Can Jews have tattoos?
The Torah clearly prohibits tattooing our bodies. However, one who has had tattoos can still be buried in a Jewish cemetery. The source of this prohibition is Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not etch a tattoo on yourselves.”
The Jewish tradition permits controlled alcohol drinking, whereas the Muslim tradition prohibits the use of any alcohol. The increasing exposure of the traditionally conservative Arab sector to the Western culture of modern Israel might impact on and be reflected in the drinking patterns of these two populations. While it is difficult to make sweeping statements about the impact of exposure to Western culture on alcohol consumption among Arab Muslims in Israel, it is possible that increased exposure could lead to changes in attitudes and behaviors surrounding alcohol consumption.
