can i work in israel


can i work in israel?
i'm american. practically my whole family on my father's side, except for my dad and his siblings, and my grandparents, were born in israel (and they're all jewish), and apparently my grandfather can move there anytime he wants because of some service he did in WWII. i'm wondering, because i am going to be traveling soon, and i want to work in a foreign country instead of flying back here. i was thinking farm or agricultural work or something. am i dreaming? does israel have much paid farm work? sorry i rambled a bit, thanks for answering.

Finding available (paid) work in Israel is difficult. Try one of kibbutzim
2 :
this violates the recent anti-israel boycotts. You may not be aware of the horrible things Israel has been up to lately. You are better off staying far far away from this backward occupying government.

Yes, you can work in Israel. Talk with a consulate or embassy to smooth out some details, though. Israel has a lot of agricultural work. There are kibbutzim, and moshavim, that should be willing to take you on. Many speak English, so if you have a problem learning a new language (especially a non-Romance one such as Hebrew), then you can learn at your own pace without having any kind of barrier. Behatzle'cha (good luck) Edit: pibe- While a maternal Jewish heritage does make one Jewish, anyone can be a Jew through the process of converting to Judaism. And while it is easier for Jews to immigrate to Israel, anyone can do it. And while some agricultural jobs do not pay well, the kibbutz is definitely a worthwhile thing to experience (or so I hear).

For immigrating to Israel you must be jewish. For being jewish, your mother, not father, must be jew In that case you can immigrate to Israel. If you get there you'll see that agricultural work is very bad payed.

Firstly,the Jewish is only inherited on the mother side of the family or if you in fact were born there.The farm work also known as Kibutz or Moshaf and they dont pay much at all,they do feed you however and give you a place to sleep sometimes you will share a room with one or more persons,but its great fun!!! If you want to make money you be better off working in Tel-Aviv or somewhere like it as a waiter or dishwashing.There is plenty of jobs available if you want to work.In Tel-Aviv you book yourself in one of the hostels and everyday someone will call needing someone to do some kind of work dishwashing,construction ect.The hostel i used was called No1 Hostel in Ben yehudda street if i remember correctly. You will receive a 3 month visit visa when you get there,just always make sure you dont overstay and keep your visas up to date.Hope this will be helpfull and remember it`s illegal to work without the correct visas LOL!!!

To answer you, you will probably be able to only find a job as waitresing.Israel has become very strict with foreign workers. Even if you are Jewish you cant simply land in Israel and demand a job, there is a whole process that needs to be done, in order for one to get citizenship.Another option for you is to volunteer on a kibbutz or a moshav good luck

Caro, Yes you can find a work if they give you a permit, now to get the permit in an Apartheid system it will be very tough, Good luck anyway.
