New Immigrants Celebrate Passover in Jerusalem Amid Ongoing War
Despite the ongoing war in Israel, new immigrants from New York, Moscow, and Berlin have arrived in Jerusalem to celebrate their first Passover. The war, described as the longest and broadest since Israel's founding, has not deterred these individuals from making aliyah. Families like the Forers from Berlin and the Lesnicks from the United States have moved to Israel, driven by a desire for their children to grow up safely as Jews. They have faced challenges such as bureaucratic hurdles and security concerns but have found support through the Jerusalem Municipality's Aliyah and Integration Authority. The holiday atmosphere in Jerusalem, with abundant Kosher-for-Passover products, has provided a unique experience for these immigrants.
