Messianic Aliyah Now Possible
Various news sources are trickling in, and several blogs have reported that Supreme Court of Israel on Wednesday, overturned a previous ruling in 1989 which denied the right of return to Israel for Messianic Jews. This means that as of today, Messianic Jews of Jewish descent can immigrate to Israel.

CBNnews.com (2008). Retrieved on April 17, 2008. “Myers told CBN News, “The bottom line is that if your father is Jewish or if any of your grandparents are Jewish from your father’s side - even if you’re a Messianic Jew - you can immigrate to Israel under the law of return or under the law of citizenship if you marry an Israeli citizen.””
Derek Leman’s blog has also reported being contacted by UMJC.net:
“I just received word from Jamie Cowen, the president of the UMJC (umjc.net) that the Israeli Supreme Court has reversed its decision from the late 1980’s which gives Messianic Jews no right of return to Israel.”
“In other words, the Israeli Supreme Court, for the first time, is recognizing that Messianic Jews have a right to make aliyah (citizenship in Israel), which is tantamount to recognizing Messianic Jews as Jews.”
“Furthermore, they ordered the Ministry of Interior (which has a lot of Orthodox Jewish staff who regularly make life difficult for Messianic Jews) to halt all discrimination against Messianic Jews in Israel.”
In our opinion, this calls for a celebration as we enter into Pesach - which is the most appropriate season to remember our deliverance from Egypt, and now finally, from the Exile.
Baruch HaShem indeed!
I wonder whether this will ever be extended to those of us from the Nations who are grafted in - there are many thousands of us who would make Aliyah tomorrow if it were possible!
Shabbat shalom, and Chag Sameach Pesach!

You bet it shall! Scripture says it will! I believe that the whole house of Israel will return, this includes the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” and Judah who have started to return from 1948. There are many books written of this matter but the best to go on is Hoshea. Hos.1.11.
If we also consider that when Israel left Mitsrayim (Egypt) having been slaves a mixed multitude left with them. Well, I believe that a great mixed multitude is enslaved with the rest if Israel today Ex.12.38
Slaves to the Banks and the Governaments of the world, I know that I shall soon return to the Greater Israel as promised to Abraham. (see the 10 agarot coin of Israel today)
The world is about to go into great tribulation like never seen before. WIth his many shall say that they need to go back to their roots. My actual name is Allan Crichton, we were first Kraicshteins in Italy and this changed in Spain to de Kretten then Kreighton after Portugal and to Crighton in Ireland and then Crichton in Scotland. My ancestors would kill for the Queen of Englan andScotland anyone who wouldnot convert to Catholacism. We became scum of the earth manipulated by the seed of Amalek and Haman.
The time is comming soon though when we shall be summonedbach as “sons of God” to the place where it was said ‘LoAmi’ not my people.
Take strength my friend, only believe and see that Elohim is Good and faithful to complete the good work He started in you.
Shalom,
Aaron.
