|
Under the law, an Israeli resident who adopts one or more children up to the age of 10 is entitled to receive the same allowances and benefits given to a new mother who has given birth. The purpose of the law is to ensure the parent and child proper conditions and to compensate the parent for the loss of income due to the adoption.

A salaried employee or self-employed person who adopts a child up to the age of 10 and stops working because of the adoption is entitled to vacation pay, provided that he paid insurance contributions for the period of time required by law.
Spouses may choose which of them will be entitled to payment for the entire period of the vacation or they may replace one another, provided that the vacation period of each of them is no less than 21 consecutive days. |
