The New Olim
Even as the intifada rages, growing
numbers of North Americans are making the ultimate statement of
solidarity through aliyah.
By Jonathan Udren
“We’re not coming for a week, we’re not
coming for a mission, we’re coming to move our families,” says
recent oleh Rabbi Yehoshua Fass.
Rabbi Fass, his wife, Batsheva, and their two young children are all
part of the new surge of North American olim (immigrants returning
to Israel). This past year, 1,608 olim arrived from North America, a
considerable boost from the previous two years, which each saw
roughly 1,400. |
