The High Court ruled in March 2021 that conversions by the Reform and Conservative Movements in Israel will qualify Jews by choice to receive oleh (immigrant) status and Israeli citizenship, in accordance with the Law of Return. This ruling marked the end of a 15-year legal battle by NIF grantee Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) against Orthodox control over who qualifies as a Jew for the purpose of Israeli citizenship.
