Bonei Zion Prize honors Olim rebuilding Israel after the war as North American Aliyah hits records
From Gaza-border farms to Israel's top labs, this year's Bonei Zion Prize honorees show what Anglo Olim bring to a recovering Israel, just as North American Aliyah hits record highs.
The Bonei Zion Prize, recognizing Olim who have rebuilt Israel after the war, was awarded to Danielle Abraham on October 7, 2023. Abraham, a London-born Olah, founded ReGrow Israel to help farms and communities recover from the war's devastation. This year's prize recipients were chosen from hundreds of nominees in English-speaking countries and were honored at a time when more North American Jews are choosing to move to Israel.
The organization Nefesh B'Nefesh reported over 1,100 North Americans making Aliyah in August, a monthly record. This year is expected to surpass 4,000 Olim by the end of the year. The Bonei Zion Prize highlights the resilience and commitment of these individuals, emphasizing Israel's strength and the importance of Aliyah in strengthening the Jewish state.
