After Israel's establishment, he returned there in 1949.

Regelson's language is uniquely original, combining the old and the new in a captivating style. His innovative usages contributed to the rejuvenation of the Hebrew tongue. The influence of English literature added an appealing flavor to his work. He was a prolific translator and enriched Hebrew with many classics of English literature.

In 1976, he won the Neuman Prize from New York University's (NYU) Hebrew Department for his contribution to Hebrew literature.

The Dolls' Trip to the Land of Israel is a children's book written by the author, poet and translator Avraham Regelson. It was first published in installments in the children's supplement of the Davar newspaper in the mid 1930s. The plot: In 1933, three year old Sharona, the daughter of the author, and her family emigrates from the United States to Eretz Israel. Sharona has to leave behind her dolls with her friend Phyllis. But the dolls miss Sharona, and they decide to travel across the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean in the wake of Sharona. They undergo many hardships and dangerous experiences on their trip, at the end of which there is an exciting encounter with Sharona. But the difficulties do not end when they arrive in Eretz Israel. Difficulties await them in Israel and cause them to question their decision to immigrate. Regelson based this story on the difficulties he and his family experienced when they immigrated to Israel. A description of some of the experiences on which the story is based were written by the real Sharona and appeared in an addendum to a 2005 edition of this work.
