From North America to Israel: August sets new Aliyah record
More than 1,100 North Americans make Aliyah in a record-breaking August, as Nefesh B’Nefesh projects over 4,000 new Olim from the region in 2026.
Nearly 2,200 North American immigrants are set to arrive in Israel this summer, marking an unprecedented wave of aliyah. According to Nefesh B Nefesh, the organization facilitating the process, over 480 families, 1,100 single men and women, and 250 retirees will join the influx during the summer months, June through September. The summer's arrival of immigrants is described as a testament to the resilience of the Jewish people and the deep connection between North American Jewry and the State of Israel.
