Hi Everyone! Congratulations and welcome home to the 351 new olim that made aliyah to Israel from North America. The NBN aliyah charter flight arrived in Israel on Tuesday morning and included 93 children in 48 families and 154 singles. The youngest oleh in the group is one month old and the oldest oleh is 85 years old. A record 127 of the olim will be joining the IDF.
I took 300 photos of the exciting, historic event and I posted them online at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/2012/a735.htm I also posted the 300 photos on Facebook for name tagging. The Facebook album address is: http://on.fb.me/olim-august14-2012-facebook 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. Have a good day, Jacob __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) ================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected] To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: [email protected] Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list [email protected] https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
