Nefesh B'Nefesh Vice Chairman Nefesh B'Nefesh announced the appointment of former Director General of the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, Erez Halfon, as vice chairman of the organization. Halfon will assume the new position on Sept. 1 and will be responsible for enhancing the organization's strategic partnerships with Israeli government bodies and agencies, and furthering its ties within the Jewish world.
The appointment comes at a pivotal time for Nefesh B'Nefesh, as it experiences a record year of aliyah, with more than 3,000 olim arriving this summer alone, and as its operations are increasing in order to meet the growing demand. Halfon will be joining the organization after serving as Director General of the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption for nearly three years, in which time he instituted various reforms which vastly improved the absorption process for Olim and returning citizens.
