New Layout: The Aliyah Photo Gallery - Over 13,000 Photos



 Hi Everyone!

Over the past several weeks, I changed the layout of

the Aliyah Photo Gallery pages to make it easier

to view the photos and navigate the site on smartphones,

tablets and computers.

The gallery has over 13,000 photos from the past 17 years.

If you or your friends or relatives took part in any of the 

welcome home events or you simply want to get some

uplifting inspiration, I highly recommend you spend a few minutes

or hours browsing the photos of these exciting / historical events.

Enjoy the photos!

Please share. Thank you!

May the aliyah from all over the world grow and bring 

more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.

Stay safe and healthy!

Have a good day,

Jacob
