"One Stop Shop" for Jewish Immigration
by IsraelNN Staff

(IsraelNN.com) Following success in revitalizing Jewish immigration (aliyah) from North America, the private Nefesh B'Nefesh organization has been given control of immigration from the continent. Yael Katsman, Nefesh B’Nefesh Director of Comunications, says in the interview below, "The Jewish agency and Nefesh B’Nefesh have reached an historic agreement. Nefesh B’Nefesh is going to become the primary operational vehicle for promotion in North America, and the Jewish Agency is going to be continuing it's responsibility on the immigration eligibility process."

Katsman says, "We’ve formulated the agreement in order to make a 'one stop shop' for new immigrants in North America." She explained that until now, new immigrants would go to the Jewish Agency to open an immigration file. Then they would go through a whole process to receive eligibility through the Jewish Agency. Only then, they would approach Nefesh B’Nefesh and, on a separate track, fill out an application and start a new procedure. It was a two-prong process that is now united into one track.
