Why Are So Many Jews Wanting to Make Aliyah?

Israeli and Jewish Agency officials are estimating that as many as 90,000 Jews will immigrate to Israel over the next 18 months. That would be nearly double the average annual rate of Jewish return to Israel over the past decade.

In the United States alone, the number of applications by Jews seeking to immigrate to Israel in May 2020 was three times higher than in the same month last year.

There are several factors driving the Aliyah wave at present, but one of the primary reasons is the clear sense that Israel has done well so far in handling the Corona pandemic.

German Christians Give Hands-On Help to Israelis in Need

During a tour through Israel before the Corona crisis hit, an ICEJ tour group from Germany spent a morning helping out at one of these distribution points set up each Thursday in the underground parking lot of a busy shopping center in Rishon LeZion. Here, volunteers come every week to pack bags of groceries and other items that are given to about one thousand “shoppers” – single parents, new immigrants, pensioners and other struggling families approved by social welfare to receive the food baskets. For only a few shekels, they come away with lots of food and a better feeling about themselves because they paid for their goods.
