Visa
B-1 work visa
A B-1 work visa is employer-sponsored, usually after Interior Ministry and, in some cases, labour-market steps. Jewish immigration (Aliyah) is a completely different law (Law of Return) and should not be mixed with a B-1. Security and travel context can change quickly; confirm with the Israeli consulate that will issue the visa.
Tech can function in English. Hebrew is needed for most of the rest of the economy.
