Five quiet questions. A candid first read of your case under the Law of Return — no email required to see the result.
Based on what you have told us, your connection sits squarely within the Law of Return — citizenship is very likely yours by right, with no need to relocate. The records are the real work, and that is precisely where we come in: our archival team has recovered documents going back to the 19th century in cases people had given up on.

Why families call us this year
She left so you could be safe here. You can complete what she began — without leaving.
Dual citizenship is your right today. Laws don’t carry retroactive clauses — but they do change.
Not a move. A country that knows your name — in law, not just in memory.
Healthcare, real estate, banking — available to you as a citizen. Without relocating.
For a generation of American Jewish families, citizenship in Israel has stopped being an abstraction. It has become a question of options — for your children, for the line that started long before you, and for whatever comes next.
Process · From roots to results
No. 01 / Process
i. First call
A confidential conversation about your family line. We tell you what is straightforward, what is not, and what the path would actually look like — before any engagement is signed.
Week 1
ii. Construction
Documents, archives, apostilles, sworn translations, narrative dossier. A dedicated case manager assigned in 24 hours. You send what we ask for — we do the rest.
Months 1–3
iii. Consulate
The interview is not a test of your family — it is a test of how the file is built. You go in knowing every question. 99% of our clients pass on the first attempt.
Months 3–4
iv. Home
Met at the airport. Driver, banking, health fund, ministry — coordinated end to end. Non-resident status filed. Your passport mailed to your U.S. address three weeks later.
Months 5–6
Five questions · 60 seconds · no commitment
Already in the middle of the process?
About one in four of our clients come to us mid-process — most often after the Jewish Agency call, or just before the consulate interview, when something stalls and the file goes quiet.
We pick up where you are. Audit what’s been built. Identify what’s missing, where it stalled, and what the recovery path looks like — without restarting your investment of time or money in what’s already done.

Two questions every client asks
No. 02 / Why us
“Why not Nefesh B’Nefesh — it’s free?”
Nefesh B’Nefesh is a legitimate intake channel to the Jewish Agency. They collect your documents and submit them. That is their role. What they do not do is prepare you for the consulate interview, manage your case between stages, coordinate the Israeli leg, or recover a file when it stalls.
Nefesh is built for families ready to fully relocate to Israel. We are for families who want to expand what’s available to them — without uprooting what they have. We work alongside Nefesh: when your file reaches the Jewish Agency through us, it is clean, complete, and ready.
“Can’t I just do this myself?”
You can. People do. The cost is rarely the document fee — it is the two unplanned trips to Israel when the case stalls, the failed consulate interview that means starting over, the year of your own time spent becoming an expert in a bureaucratic system you will never need again. The fee we charge is cheaper than any of those outcomes. And the only one that comes with a written money-back guarantee.

What we handle
No. 03 / Services
A candid first read of your case under the Law of Return. Family tree analysis, gap identification, and an honest view of viability — given to you in writing before any engagement is signed.
Most private services walk away from cases without documents in hand. We don’t. Our archival team accesses records across the U.S., Europe, and the post-Soviet region — back to the 19th century when needed.
The two highest-risk moments — the Jewish Agency intake call and the consulate interview — are where most cases fail. We prepare you for both, line by line. Nothing in either room should surprise you.
One week in Israel, fully managed. Airport, driver, Misrad HaPnim, banking, health fund, non-resident filing. You leave with citizenship confirmed — your passport mailed to your U.S. address within three weeks.
Founder · Welcome Israel
My family came to Israel in the early 1990s, when I was a child. We arrived with the same questions every Jewish family arrives with: what happens to our papers, our schooling, our place. There was nobody to walk us through it. We learned the hard way.
I started Welcome Israel in 2014 because I had watched too many Jewish families try to do this alone — or worse, hand the most personal decision of their lives to an anonymous service that didn’t pick up the phone.
Our team is small on purpose. Every family hears a voice, not a ticket number. When you call us, you reach a person who has either made this journey themselves, or guided thousands who have. That is the only kind of accompaniment I am willing to put my name on.

“When we first started… it was overwhelming. We had to gather documents and have them apostiled… But when we found WRAI and decided to enlist their help… we were assigned to Ale as our personal guide… He took us through every step.”

“For many years I have wanted to know if I had any Jewish roots. And with the expertise of Ale and team I now believe I have irrefutable evidence. I am almost 72 and with no living family members to glean information from. Ale has done a fantastic job.”

“We don’t take cases we don’t believe in. If we start your process, it’s because we believe the path is real — and if we’re wrong, you’re not the one who pays for it.”
— Vadim Jorov · Founder
Contract · Section 6.8 (verbatim)
“If WRAI cannot obtain Israeli citizenship for a client who has followed the preparation process and provided the required documentation — the full amount paid is returned.”
Milestone-based payment: 50% on signing · 25% after consulate · 25% on passport delivery. You never pay the full fee until you’re already a citizen.
The questions every family asks first
No. 05 / FAQ
As a non-resident Israeli citizen — the status we set up for you — you are not a tax resident of Israel. You do not file Israeli taxes. You do not declare foreign assets to the Israeli government. Your U.S. tax obligations stay exactly as they are.
Non-resident citizens are not subject to automatic mandatory service. A formal deferral is filed as part of the citizenship process — from day one. For males over 26, the mandatory service window has largely passed. This is managed correctly from the start, not something that happens to him.
The U.S. has never restricted dual citizenship by law — it is a long-standing right. Some occupational restrictions exist for specific security clearances. For private citizens, dual citizenship with Israel has no U.S. legal implications.
A fair question. Judge us by the specificity of this conversation — not by what we claim about ourselves. Our payment is milestone-based: you don’t pay the full fee until you are already a citizen. The refund clause is in the contract, not in the sales pitch.
Still have a question that isn’t here?
A 15–minute call answers most of them. No pressure, no pitch — just a candid read of your case.

That’s the rule, not the exception. Our client checks with a spouse, a parent, or an adult child before committing — and they should.
We’ve put together a two-page summary in plain English — process, guarantee, timeline, costs. It answers most of the questions before they come up. Send it to whoever you’re deciding with.
