NEFESH B'NEFESH Stands with Israel: Israel Resilience Campaign Activity:

NEFESH B'NEFESH: EVERYDAY WORK

EACH YEAR, thousands of individuals from North America are making Aliyah (immigrating to Israel) by choice through Nefesh B’Nefesh. Aliyah creates a personal bond and a living bridge between Israel and communities abroad, as well as fueling Israel’s economy. Through supporting the olim (new immigrants), you are taking part in the growth and success of Israel by investing in its most important resource: the people.

In 1901, Jewish National Fund’s focus was on buying land and planting trees to build a nation. Today, Jewish National Fund is planting people in Israel, strengthening the nation through 21st Century aliyah with its partner Nefesh B’Nefesh. Olim are living the Zionist dream, powering to every aspect of Israeli society and ensuring a promising future.
