Make Haifa your city in Israel. We offer you the opportunity to become an active partner in the realization of the Zionist dream, and make our future yours.
Haifa has many advantages for Olim, designed to ensure a successful absorption process:
- Outstanding housing at attractive prices
- Extensive employment prospects in a wide range of fields
- The highest standard of medical care
- A wide variety of ulpan levels for learning Hebrew
- Educational assistance and support for children in school
- Warm and supportive community
- A wide variety of cultural, social and sport activities in schools and in the community
- Professional guidance with an "individually tailored" program
- Haifa gives you special benefits for Olim and Returning Israeli Residents
The Haifa Municipality (Iriyat Haifa), in close cooperation with the Jewish Agency (Hasochnut Hayehudit) and the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption (Misrad Haklita), sponsors an enhanced support system that ensures a "quick start aliyah". The initial guidance and counseling starts long before arrival, in order to prepare every step in advance.
We recommend that you participate in a pilot trip, individually tailored for your needs, to explore all your options. Prior arrangements must be made through your local aliyah shaliah (emissary) of the Jewish Agency.
