The olim receive their identification card

This summer, Nefesh B’Nefesh and the Jewish Agency will assist over 2,500 Jews to make Aliyah from the USA and Canada. Among the newcomers arriving this summer are 1,137 singles, of which over 493 will be joining the IDF, and more than 300 people moving to Northern Israel as part of Nefesh B’Nefesh’s ‘Go North’ program.

"The series of flights with new immigrants arriving from North America in the coming weeks expresses to my joy the fruitful partnership that exists between the Jewish Agency for Israel and Nefesh B’Nefesh,” said Chairman of the Jewish Agency, Natan Sharansky. “I have no doubt that this partnership between these two organizations is a blessed and winning combination.”

By the end of the summer, Nefesh B’Nefesh, together with the Jewish Agency, will have brought a total of 44 charter and 56 group flights to The Holy Land.

“The exponential growth in ‘Aliyah of choice’ year by year signals a significant emerging trend in western Jewry” said Tony Gelbart, Co-Founder and Chairman of Nefesh B’Nefesh.
