Another 200 new immigrants to Israel came home from North America, landing on their home turf in Ben Gurion International Airport Tuesday morning. They were greeted by cheering crowds and government officials. It was the second Nefesh B'Nefesh (NBN) flight this summer from North America; the first one, earlier this month, brought over 220 new olim (immigrants). NBN flights have also arrived from Great Britain, and another one was scheduled for Thursday evening. A planeload of 600 new olim from France arrived last week, organized by the AMI organization dedicated to increasing French aliyah (immigration to Israel).
