303 pictures of the new olim from North America and England

Hi Everyone!

Congratulations to the 275 olim that made aliyah today from North America and England. The two aliyah flights included 49 families with 122 children and 25 singles. The youngest oleh in the group is 6 weeks old and the oldest oleh is 89 years old. The flight from the USA included 3 dogs and 2 cats.

I was at Ben-Gurion airport to greet the new olim.
Prior to the arrival of the flights, there was a Rosh Chodesh (Elul) morning prayer in the terminal one arrival building.

I took 303 pictures of the historic event and posted them online at:

May the aliyah from all over of the world grow and bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.

Have a Good Month,
Chodesh Tov,
Jacob
