Nefesh B’Nefesh organizing 10 aliyah group flights.

Nefesh B’Nefesh, an organization that facilitates aliyah (immigration to Israel) from North America, is preparing for a major wave of aliyah this summer, with over 2,000 individuals from 20 U.S. states and Canadian provinces expected to arrive in Israel on 10 group flights. The first group aliyah flight of the summer landed last week, bringing 40 new olim to Israel. The olim arrived from seven U.S. states and ranged in ages from one to 88 years old.

The summer of 2022 also marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Nefesh B’Nefesh by Rabbi Yehoshua Fass and Tony Gelbart. Since 2002, Nefesh B’Nefesh has transformed the North American aliyah process, assisting nearly 75,000 new olim to Israel.
