Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, founder ofNefesh B'nefesh, welcomes Gilad Zuller, held by his father Yehuda, as the family arrives at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. The family is among 232 North American Jews immigrating to Israel on July 7. The Zullers, from New York, named their son Gilad in solidarity with IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, who was captured one week prior to the child's birth. Gilad Zuller celebrated his third birthday two weeks ago. The flight was organized by Nefesh B'Nefesh and the Jewish Agency, which is expecting a record summer of 3,000 olim (immigrants to Israel).
