Americans, Canadians Immigrate to Israel
Americans, Canadians Immigrate to Israel
Tuesday, August 18, 2015
TEL AVIV, Israel -- Two hundred thirty-two immigrants from the United States and Canada landed in Tel Aviv early Tuesday, intending to make Israel their permanent home.
Among the new immigrants are 29 families that include 75 children and 59 young people who will join the Israel Defense Forces as "lone soldiers," those who have left their families and friends to be part of Israel and the IDF.
Israel's newest citizens arrived on an El Al flight chartered by Nefesh B'Nefesh, an organization that partners with the government to help North American and British Jews make aliyah (immigrate to Israel) and adjust to their new lives here.
Some of the passengers were wearing t-shirts that read, "Keep Calm and Love Israel."
About 4,000 North Americans are expected to immigrate to Israel this year. Since its establishment in 2002, Nefesh B'Nefesh has brought about 45,000 immigrants from the United States, Canada, and England.
"It is truly inspiring to see that Jews everywhere, young and old, and from all denominations, are determined to fulfill the dream of building the Jewish state and strengthening the Jewish nation," Nefesh B'Nefesh co-founder Rabbi Yehoshua Fass said.

Ukrainian Jews Exodus 'Deeply Significant'
Ukrainian Jews Exodus 'Deeply Significant'
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
JERUSALEM, Israel -- It's a modern day Exodus story. Just before Passover when Jews around the world celebrate their exodus from Egypt, the Jewish Agency reported Tuesday that Ukrainian Jews celebrated an early Passover at the agency's refugee center as they prepare to immigrate to Israel.
"The Jews who are living at The Jewish Agency's refugee center in Dnepropetrovsk left their entire lives behind in order to give their children a better future in Israel," said Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky. "Their decision to immigrate to Israel on the eve of Passover is deeply significant."
In 2014, some 5,480 Jews immigrated to Israel from Ukraine, nearly three times as many as the previous year. The increase follows the outbreak of hostilities in eastern Ukraine with Russian-backed separatists.
The aliyah [immigration to Israel under the Law of Return] continues in 2015, with some 1,400 new Ukrainian immigrants, compared to 400 during the first three months of 2014.
The agency estimates there are about 200,000 eligible immigrants in Ukraine. It has representatives throughout the country to help those who would like to immigrate to Israel.
"Jewish Agency representatives, who are spread throughout the country, focus their efforts on handling the aliyah process while strengthening Ukrainian Jews' ties to Israel and to Jewish life by both engaging in Jewish education in Ukraine and bringing hundreds of young people to experience Israel on Jewish Agency programs each year," agency spokesman Avi Mayer said in an email.
"The Jewish Agency's activities in Ukraine take place in cooperation with the government of Israel and with the support of Jewish communities, organizations, and donors in Israel and around the world," Mayer explained.
Aliyah from France and Belgium also increased substantially in 2014 because of increasing anti-Semitism and resultant terror attacks. The movement has continued in the New Year.
