The Nefesh B’Nefesh Go North Program is an unprecedented pioneering initiative aimed at encouraging North American and British Olim to settle in Northern Israel. The unparalleled $10 million project was made possible through a generous gift and partnership with the Russell Berrie Foundation, the Jewish National Fund and the Government of Israel’s Ministry of the Development of the Negev and the Galilee and the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption.

 The program’s objective is to bring 1,500 Olim to Northern Israel over five years

‘Go North’ aims to encourage Olim who are drawn to Northern Israel but are held back because of concerns that moving to a less developed area will be more costly and difficult. The program addresses these issues by providing significant financial grants and other forms of assistance specifically geared to make their Aliyah and absorption experience more successful. It is designed to ease the transition into communities in the North by creating the conditions for seamless professional and social integration.
