Aliyah Up Even During War in Israel

Filed under: Israel

Arutz Sheva reports:

The largest number of Jews making aliyah in a single day will be this coming Wednesday, August 16th, ha'ba aleinu l'tovah.

On Wednesday, August 16th...three simultaneous flights will arrive. Embodying the Jewish prayer that the nation be gathered “from the four corners of the Earth,” the planes will depart from Canada, America and England – all arriving simultaneously in the Holy Land.

The August 16, 2006 influx will constitute the largest number of Jews in history making Aliyah to Israel from Western countries in a single day. Overall this summer, 3,000 North American and British Jews are moving to Israel on specially chartered flights organized by the Nefesh b'Nefesh Aliyah assistance organization, in close cooperation with the Jewish Agency.


Talk about against all odds. Hashem y'chazkem v'ya'azrem.
