Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? - eviltoast

I know Jewish people are granted some special right to visit the state of Israel, and some companies organize free tours for Jewish born or living outside.

But does that apply only for people ethnically Jewish that come from Jewish families? Or also applies to new converts to Judaism?

Like, not literally converting tomorrow and demand a free vacation to Israel, but like, converting and in a few years wait and see if they offer me a free vacation to the country to visit the most iconic places of Judaism?

How does that works?

edit: I’m a hispanic atheist with no Jewish family that I know of, and I’m not interested on joining any religion, this is just a hypothetical case.

    I corrected my comment. The article I posted was written by a medical anthropologist, not a conservative think tank.

      If only that “think tank” had extensively sourced everything from third parties and didn’t deliberately use misleading and propagandistic phrasing, like serious journalists do.

      Israel is actively genociding Palestinians, today.

      You don’t need to make shit up about something that happened years ago.
