Jews From 18 Countries Coming to Israel on Aliyah Exodus*
by Ezra HaLevi
(IsraelNN.com) Jews from several countries around the globe will be
making Aliyah [immigration to Israel] this coming week.
Following the sounding of the shofar [ram’s horn] on Rosh HaShanah, 380
Diaspora Jews will arrive in fulfillment of the daily prayer, “Sound the
great Shofar for our freedom and raise the banner to gather in the
exiles from the four corners of the earth.”
The new immigrants are setting out from eighteen different countries:
172 from Russia, including many who are part of the Naaleh program that
brings young people on Aliyah ahead of their families, who later join
them; 63 from Ethiopia; 45 from France; 29 from Ukraine (also Naaleh
participants); 29 from southern Kavkaz and Asia (also Naaleh
participants); eight each from the United States, Eastern Europe, and
Venezuela and the rest from England, Germany, Holland, Belgium,
Switzerland, Mexico, South Africa, Canada and Turkey.
Young Jews Come to Israel For High School
The Jewish Agency has launched a program similar to the long-standing
Naaleh framework to bring North American Jewish high school students to
complete their studies in Israel.
Sixty students were accepted to the Elite Academy Program and arrived in
Israel last week. This is the fourth year the program has existed.
Students will make up four complete classes, all at different affiliated
Israeli boarding schools, yeshivas or Kibbutz high schools.
