Two hundred and forty five new olim – Jewish immigrants – from the United States and Canada will land an Israel Tuesday on this summer’s first flight organized by Nefesh b’Nefesh with the Jewish Agency.
Hundreds of invitees and guests are expected to attend the welcoming ceremony for the olim at Terminal 1 in Ben Gurion Airport, among them the Minister for Aliyah Absorption, Sofa Landver, and Jewish Agency chief Natan Sharansky.
This is the tenth summer since Nefesh B’Nefesh was founded.
