Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky greeted 238 new immigrants from the US and Canada — including families from Far Rockaway and Long Island — at a welcoming ceremony at Ben Gurion airport Tuesday. The new Israelis — including 55 army recruits — left JFK Monday on a Nefesh B’Nefesh charter flight, the second such flight this summer.
