Over the past decade, some one million immigrants from the Former Soviet Union have made a new home in Israel. The number includes some 250,000 Olim who are not halachically Jews. These immigrants, eligible for Aliyah by the Law of Return, willingly chose to make aliyah, and for the most part want to be a part of the Jewish people. This population lives an Israeli lifestyle, identifies itself as an integral part of the Jewish society in Israel and would be interested in conversion. The Committee received reports concerning difficulties faced by Olim who wish to pursue Halachic conversion.
