Do you have to be Jewish to go to Israel? I mean, I keep kosher, Sabbath, the Moeds. Is there a Torah cycle teaching which encourages the commandment of circumcision, and would it suffice, at the point, that I could make Aliyah then?
No, you just have to have a valid passport to visit. (plural of moed is moedim)Do you have to be Jewish to go to Israel? I mean, I keep kosher, Sabbath, the Moeds.

In order to make aliyah (under the law of return) you have to be one of the following:
-a Jew who has not accepted a different religion
-married to a Jew
-the child or grandchild of a Jew even if you are not Jewish
-married to the child or grandchild of a Jew, even if you are not Jewish.
I am sure there are ways for some non-Jews to move to Israel, but I am not familiar with them.
Funny, if you look at it objectively, it's incredibly discriminatory and racist, eh? Indeed rare for the modern age.
Historical race concepts
"The word "race", interpreted to mean common descent, was introduced into English in about 1580, from the Old French rasse (1512), from Italian razza, which may have been derived from the Arabic Word "ras" "رأس" meaning the head of someone or something...."
"..During the Age of Enlightenment, Europeans tried to define race as a biological concept, in keeping with their scientific ideas...."

Aryeh Jay said:I know, it is sooo much easier becoming a citizen of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Indonesia…
Racist? Did you miss Operations Moses and Solomon?

The question in the thread is about making aliyah. That is only available under the Law of Return. There's nothing racist about it objectively or otherwise. The Law of Return is available to Jews wanting to RETURN to the Jewish home land. There's a naturalization process available to non Jews that involves residency requirements-just like in my home country.Race= The Jews in this case. Ops Moses and Solomon were about rescuing Jews. The color of their skin doesn't matter if you're Jewish.
Guys, settle down. I said "if you look at it objectively, it's incredibly discriminatory and racist, eh? Indeed rare for the modern age."
It is rather out of step with democracies. I can't think of a democracy on the planet other than Israel that decides who gets to be a citizen based on race and religion. Sure, Muslim countries do exactly that, but they're essentially backward, and rarely democracies- and if I am correct, Muslim democracies such as Indonesia and Malaysia don't scan your race or religion for eligibility for citizenship.
I'm not saying Israel is "wrong" for choosing to select citizens based on race and religion. It's just rare and out of touch with the modern democratic ideology and zeitgeist. Rather than defend an indefensible point, just accept that it's out of step with the planet and move on.

Making Aliyah in modern terms is to immigrate and you have to be able to show CLEAR and compelling evidence that you are Jewish. Our rabbi's son made Aliyah and he had to show an unbroken lineage of maternal Jewishness back I believe it was 3 or 4 generations. This when he has cousins (in their 80;s now) who were among the first people to move to Israel in the 1940's. He is also serving a FULL term in the Israeli defense force.Do you have to be Jewish to go to Israel? I mean, I keep kosher, Sabbath, the Moeds.

Homosexuals Destroy Israeli Messianic Business
"...The Jerusalem District Court has ordered Moshav Yad Hashmonah, a community of Messianic Jews and Evangelical Christians, to pay compensation to two lesbians after it refused to host a same-sex wedding reception. "We knew we were breaking the law. Somebody needed to do it." says Ayelet Ronen, general secretary for the village...."
"...Judge Cohen held that the Moshav cannot refuse to host a same-sex wedding reception even if doing so goes against their own conscious. The Moshav's lawyer, Michael Decker, challenged that ruling, asking the judge, "What if a Catholic went to an Orthodox Jewish carpentry in [the ultra-Orthodox town of] Bnei Barack and asked them to build a statue of
Mary? Would they have to build the idolatrous image?"
The judge replied: "They would have to make it or else be fined. That is the law."..."
