Hi Everyone! Congratulations and welcome home to the 229 new olim that made aliyah to Israel from North America. The NBN aliyah charter flight arrived in Israel on Thursday morning and included 99 children in 38 families and 59 singles. The youngest oleh in the group is 6 months old and the oldest oleh is 86 years old. The flight also included 6 dogs.
I took 300 photos of the exciting, historic event and I posted them online at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/2012/a705.htm I also posted the 300 photos on Facebook for name tagging. There are two sets of photos and you can access the albums via: http://on.fb.me/olim-july12-2012-facebook-1 and http://on.fb.me/olim-july12-2012-facebook-2 If you have a Facebook acccount and you are in the photos or see someone you know, please feel free to name tag the photos. May the aliyah from all over of the world grow and bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.
