Welcome Home to the New Olim (and 364 pictures)

Hi Everyone!

On Tuesday morning, August 19, 2008, I was at Ben-Gurion airport to greet the new olim that made aliyah from North America to Israel.

There were 240 olim on the flight including 18 singles (including 6 joining the IDF) and 46 families with 104 children. The youngest oleh in the group is one month old and the oldest oleh
is 72 years old.

I took 364 pictures of the exciting event and I posted them online at:

I also copied 330 of the 364 pictures to Facebook for name tagging.
There are six sets of pictures and the address of the first set is:

If you have a Facebook acccount and you are in the pictures or see someone you know, please feel free to name tag the pictures.

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
