<\/a>First Charter Aliyah Flight Since Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 Attack Brings 225 Newcomers to Israel<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nAilin Vilches Arguello<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n NEW YORK\/TEL AVIV \u2014 Defying the uncertainty of war, 225 Jews arrived in Tel Aviv on the first charter\u00a0aliyah<\/em>\u00a0flight since the Hamas-led invasion of and massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, determined to start new lives and contribute to the country they now call home.<\/span><\/p>\n On Wednesday morning, Nefesh B\u2019Nefesh \u2014 a nonprofit that promotes and facilitates\u00a0aliyah<\/em>\u00a0from the United States and Canada \u2014 brought its 65th charter flight from New York to Tel Aviv.<\/span><\/p>\n Aliyah<\/em>\u00a0refers to the process of Jews immigrating to Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n With the most children yet on a single flight, this historic\u00a0aliyah<\/em>\u00a0brought 45 families to their new homeland \u2014 125 children among them, ranging from the youngest at 9 months to the oldest at 72.<\/span><\/p>\n Migrating from across the US and Canada, these newcomers and families are settling throughout Israel to build communities and begin new lives of service to the Jewish state. Among them are professionals in fields such as medicine, journalism, education, law, accounting, engineering, and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n During a farewell ceremony in New York, Nefesh B\u2019Nefesh chairman and co-founder Tony Gelbart commended those on the flight, holding them up as examples of Jewish resilience and unity in the face of adversity<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re fulfilling your dream, but I believe you\u2019re doing something even more important at this time,\u201d Gelbart said in his speech.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNot only are you helping Israel; you\u2019re showing the world that Jews everywhere stand together and care for one another,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/p>\n Israeli Minister of Aliyah and Integration Ofir Sofer, who traveled to the US to see off the new\u00a0olim<\/em>\u00a0(immigrants who moved to Israel) on their historic flight, also praised them for embarking on this new chapter in Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI want to thank each and every person who made the decision to make\u00a0aliyah<\/em>\u00a0during the war. It strengthens our resilience and our solidarity, and I am truly proud of them,\u201d Sofer told\u00a0The Algemeiner<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSince Oct. 7, we\u2019ve seen that most people want to support Israel \u2026 but the highest form of solidarity is choosing to make\u00a0aliyah<\/em>,\u201d the Israeli official said. \u201cThese individuals want to be part of what\u2019s happening in Israel, make a meaningful difference, and stand with their people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Founded in 2002, Nefesh B\u2019Nefesh is dedicated to \u201cstrengthening the State of Israel by facilitating\u00a0aliyah<\/em>, advancing national service and development, and promoting Zionist education.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Nefesh B\u2019Nefesh, working alongside Israel\u2019s Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, the Jewish Agency for Israel, Keren Kayemeth, and the Jewish National Fund-USA, helps\u00a0olim<\/em>\u00a0become fully integrated members of Israeli society.<\/span><\/p>\n To this day, they have assisted nearly 100,000\u00a0olim<\/em>\u00a0in establishing thriving lives in Israel, guiding them through the\u00a0aliyah<\/em>\u00a0process.<\/span><\/p>\n Those who decide to make\u00a0aliyah<\/em>\u00a0receive comprehensive support to help them transition smoothly into their new life, including guidance through the immigration process, access to community programs, health-care assistance, and employment resources.<\/span><\/p>\n The Israeli government also provides a range of support and resources to ease the transition and adaptation for those taking this significant step, including housing subsidies and higher education incentives for young\u00a0olim<\/em>\u00a0and professionals pursuing studies in Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI believe we\u2019ll see an increase in the number of people making\u00a0aliyah<\/em>\u00a0in the coming years. It won\u2019t happen overnight, but it will be a gradual process,\u201d Sofer told\u00a0The Algemeiner<\/em>. \u201cThe trend is clear, and there is growing interest among many in taking this step.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re seeing numbers rise year by year, especially from Western countries like the UK, France, and North America, and I expect that trend to continue,\u201d the Israeli minister said.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> .
