(IsraelNN.com) The 7th specially chartered ‘Aliyah’ (immigration to 
Israel) flight of 2005 will arrive at Ben Gurion International Airport on 
Wednesday, December 28th bringing 250 North American Jews to 
their new homes in Israel. 

This chartered El-Al flight marks the culmination of a record-setting 
year in which Israel will see the largest number of newcomers from 
the US and Canada since 1984. 

Since its inception in 2001, Nefesh B’Nefesh (NBN), an organization 
dedicated to the revitalization of North American Aliyah, has brought 
more than 7,000 new immigrants to Israel. Over 3100 North American 
Jews will have moved in 2005 through the organization, working in 
close cooperation with the Jewish Agency for Israel.

Greeting the newcomers at a welcoming ceremony at Ben Gurion 
Airport will be hundreds of family, friends and supporters, along with 
Deputy Minister of the Interior Ruhama Avraham, Former Chairman 
of the Committee for Immigration & Absorption MK Tzvi Hendel, 
a senior representative of the Jewish Agency for Israel and 
Co-Founders of Nefesh B’Nefesh.
