The Arad English speaking group, ACES, has benefited by a mutual relationship with Nefesh B’Nefesh. Recently, ACES celebrated Tu B’Shvat by enjoying a Seder together. It was a fun and informative time to learn more about the holiday. The Seder itself, and each item of food, was clearly explained by our own Leor Blumenthal. An added bonus was the way he took the time to answer questions. At the conclusion of the Seder, the pizza provided by Nefesh B’Nefesh topped off the evening.

Several Olim in Arad benefited by spending time individually with Nefesh B’Nefesh staff who traveled to Arad from Be’er Sheva to follow-up and to provide helpful information. I am pleased, as well as other Olim, by not only the help that Nefesh B’Nefesh provides for making Aliyah, but also for the services they provide for those who have already made Aliyah.

In the past, Nefesh B’Nefesh sponsored a movie night for ACES and conducted fun, informative workshops. I believe that our partnership with Nefesh B’Nefesh will attract more people to make Aliyah as part of the Go Beyond South Program.
