The Law of Return (1950) grants every Jew, wherever he or she may be, the right to come to Israel as an oleh (a Jew immigrating to Israel) and become an Israeli citizen.
For the purposes of this Law, "Jew" means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has converted to Judaism and is not a member of another religion.
ISRAELI CITIZENSHIP BECOMES EFFECTIVE ON THE DAY OF ARRIVAL IN THE COUNTRY or of receipt of an oleh's certificate, whichever is later. A person may declare, within three months, that he/she does not wish to become a citizen.

TO CLARIFY FURTHER,,,,,YOU GET THE CITIZENSHIP AS SOON AS YOU LAND IN ISRAEL, IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF AN ISRAELI YOU CAN RECEIVE IT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
