Israeli Minister Seeks Funds for New Immigrants
Israeli Minister Seeks Funds for New Immigrants
Wednesday, February 11, 2015
JERUSALEM, Israel -- With increasing numbers of Ukrainian, French and other European Jews immigrating to Israel, the government is considering a variety of programs to help them with the process.
Israeli Immigration and Absorption Minister Sofa Landver is asking for an additional 600 million shekels over the next two years to prepare Jewish families for successful absorption into Israeli life, The Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday.
Aliyah (immigration to Israel under the Law of Return) is a complex process, which includes, among other things, learning to read, write and speak Hebrew, not just in the synagogue, but as an integral part of daily life.
Landver wants to work with the Education Ministry to help potential immigrants hone their Hebrew skills abroad as they plan their aliyah. While many Jews have a basic knowledge of Hebrew, learning to communicate on all levels is a whole different challenge.
In addition to studying Hebrew, the government wants to facilitate reestablishing businesses and help people use the education, skills and work experience they bring with them to build new lives in the Jewish state.
New immigrants have always needed lots of support for successful absorption into Israeli life, and Landver and others are exploring new ways to help them in the process.
The French aliyah led in 2014, with nearly 7,000 French Jews making a new start in Israel. Close to 6,000 Ukrainian Jews immigrated last year, a 190 percent increase from 2013.

Israeli Minister: We're Close to Reconquering Gaza
Israeli Minister: We're Close to Reconquering Gaza
Thursday, August 21, 2014 | Israel Today Staff
Israeli Communications Minister Gilad Erdan, a member of the Security Cabinet, told Army Radio on Thursday that the resumption of Hamas rocket fire had brought Israel closer than ever to a decision to fully reconquer the Gaza Strip.
Erdan said that Hamas decided to break the tenuous ceasefire on Tuesday because Israel refused to meet a single one of the terrorists’ primary demands during talks in Cairo.
Over the past 24 hours, Hamas and allied terror groups have fired dozens of missiles into southern and central Israel, causing widespread damage and at least one injury.
Israel has thus far confined its response to targeted aerial strikes. But Erdan warned that Israeli military operations could expand dramatically if Hamas continues to attack.
“Will this happen tomorrow? It’s not certain, since the price for this will be high, but we are closer today to a ground operation than we have been at any point since the start of the operation,” said the minister.
Israel’s aerial strikes have also become somewhat less restrained. In the first weeks of the Gaza war, Israeli forces issued several warnings of the occupants of targeted buildings, even if that meant missing the targeted terrorist.
Now, these warnings seem to be coming less frequently, as Israel is more determined to actually eliminate Hamas leaders.
The terror group confirmed on Thursday that three of its senior field commanders had been killed, along with members of their families, in Israeli air strikes.
Israel also targeted the home of Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif with a volley of five powerful missiles. Palestinian sources said that Deif’s wife, child and one other unidentified person were killed. Hamas insisted that Deif had survived, but Israeli generals said all evidence pointed to his demise.
