'Go big and go home': North American families make aliyah in the shadow of war

In the midst of regional conflict, numerous North American families have chosen to make aliyah, marking a significant wave of immigration to Israel through Nefesh B’Nefesh's 2026 program. These families, many still in the process of settling, are demonstrating a profound commitment to their Jewish identity and a desire for a secure future. This surge in immigration underscores the broader trend of increased global Jewish migration to Israel, reflecting both personal convictions and the impact of geopolitical tensions. It highlights a dramatic shift in community dynamics and has significant implications for Israel's social and demographic landscape.
