Travel Document in Lieu of National Passport
People who make aliyah (immigrate) to Israel are generally not eligible for an Israeli passport until they have resided in Israel for at least one year. From three months after aliyah until the residence requirement has been met, such new citizens may apply for aTeudat Ma'avar which is a travel document in lieu of national passport (Laissez-passer) and is normally valid for two years. Holders of this document may not enjoy the same visa-free access to certain other countries enjoyed by holders of a standard Israeli passport.

Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lenny’s life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more.... And people wouldn’t let him live his own life. But he created his own career, in his own image.”
—John Mauceri (b. 1945)
