Sal Klita (Absorption Basket)

The package of financial support the Israeli state provides to new immigrants in their first months.

Sal Klita — literally the "absorption basket" — is the package of financial assistance the Israeli government provides to new immigrants (olim) to ease their initial resettlement. Administered by the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, it is typically paid out over the first six to twelve months and is intended to cover initial living costs, rent, and Hebrew-language study (ulpan) while a new immigrant establishes themselves. Exact amounts vary by family size and status. Sal Klita is a core instrument of Israel's absorption policy and a practical factor in the economics of any household weighing aliyah.
