Congratulations to the New Olim and 353 pictures posted online

Hi Everyone!

On Thursday, December 27, I was at Ben-Gurion airport to greet the new olim that made aliyah from North America to Israel.

Congratulations to the 191 olim that have returned to their homeland. The excitement was everywhere and you knew that Jewish history was unfolding before your very eyes.

This last flight of 2007 included 82 singles and 32 families with 25 children. The youngest oleh in the group is 3 months old and the oldest olah is 96 years old. The flight also included 6 dogs
and 2 cats.

I took 353 pictures of the exciting event and I posted them online at:

When the first page appears, press the F11 key to view the full length of the pictures. To move from page to page, use the navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen.

If I receive other pictures from people that were at the airport, I will post them at:

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

Shabbat Shalom!
Jacob
