Jerusalem's Role as a Home for North American Olim Highlighted by New Arrivals
Jerusalem continues to be a significant destination for North American Jews making aliyah, as highlighted by recent data from Nefesh B’Nefesh and other Jewish organizations. The city attracts new immigrants with its unique blend of community, spirituality, and a sense of belonging. The Douglas family, from the United States, is preparing to move to Jerusalem with their three children, drawn by the city's community and diversity. Similarly, 19-year-old Aliya Abergil, originally from Brooklyn, has found a new home in Jerusalem, where she is engaged in National Volunteer Service. Both the Douglas family and Abergil describe their connection to Jerusalem as deeply personal, viewing the city as a place where they can live fully Jewish lives.
