I know Jewish people are granted some special right to visit the state of Israel, and some companies organize free tours for Jewish born or living outside.

But does that apply only for people ethnically Jewish that come from Jewish families? Or also applies to new converts to Judaism?

Like, not literally converting tomorrow and demand a free vacation to Israel, but like, converting and in a few years wait and see if they offer me a free vacation to the country to visit the most iconic places of Judaism?

How does that works?

edit: I’m a hispanic atheist with no Jewish family that I know of, and I’m not interested on joining any religion, this is just a hypothetical case.

    If Sienfeld, King of the Hill and Family Guy are accurate about this (sure they’re just TV shows and two are cartoons, but for 3 different things to show the same specific shit there must be some truth), you can’t just convert to Judaism overnight. There are things you have to actually do and they require study. Often years of it. It’s not like Christianity where you can just say “I believe this now” and have them welcome you as one of their own faith.

    So even if getting a trip was as easy as becoming Jewish, becoming Jewish isn’t that easy.
