Both, not either-or
Not really a "comparison" — both are available. Klita basket is the default; the aliyah grant is a special-case supplement.
Sequence
- Months 1-3 post-aliyah: register at Ministry of Aliyah — klita basket starts.
- Months 4-15: 12 monthly payments flow.
- In any special situation (single parent, health, job loss): contact the ministry for the aliyah grant.
Don't miss
The aliyah grant can be requested up to 10 years after aliyah. Many families don't know about it.
