Ministry of Aliyah and Integration (formerly Ministry of Immigration and Absorption) (Hebrew: משרד העלייה והקליטה, Misrad HaAliyah VeHaKlita) is a ministry of the Israeli government. In 2017, the English name was changed in all publications.
The ministry was known until 1951 as the Ministry of Immigration (Hebrew: משרד העלייה, Misrad HaAliya) and later renamed HaMisrad LeKlitat HaAliyah (Hebrew: המשרד לקליטת העלייה). In coordination with local authorities and the Jewish Agency, the Ministry is responsible for helping new immigrants (olim) find employment and accommodation, and gives advice on education, planning and social issues, as well as setting up the "immigrant basket" of benefits (such as tax breaks, grants etc.).
The Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption Minister (Hebrew: שר העלייה והקליטה, Sar HaAliyah VeKlita) is a minor portfolio in the Israeli cabinet. The current minister is Sofa Landver of Yisrael Beiteinu. There is also occasionally a Deputy Minister.
