Recent headlines in the Israeli
media have reported a worldwide
increase in aliyah (immigration
to Israel)—the highest jump in
10 years. Both the Ministry of
Immigrant Absorption and the
Jewish Agency announced that
there had been a 17 percent
increase in aliyah in 2009
compared with 2008.
This is a question that all of us who are involved in helping Jewish people
to make aliyah (immigrate to Israel) have been asked at one time or another.
