Welcome Home to the New Olim (and 307 photos)

Hi Everyone!

On Tuesday morning, September 8, 2009, I was at Ben-Gurion airport to greet the new olim that made aliyah from North America to Israel.

There were 204 olim on the flight including 81 singles.

I took 307 photos of the exciting event and posted them online at:

During the welcoming ceremony there was an unexpected marriage proposal. See photos 7192-7201

The 307 photos have, also, been uploaded to Facebook for name tagging. There are two sets of photos and you can access the albums via:

If you have a Facebook account, 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,
and Shana Tova,
Jacob
