After the arrival of a Nefesh B’Nefesh aliyah flight from N. America last week, 203 new immigrants from France are scheduled to arrive in Israel Monday evening, 10 Menachem Av. More than 3,000 immigrants are expected to arrive in ISarel from France during July and August.

The new arrivals will be greeted by Minister of Aliyah & Immigrant Absorption Ze’ev Elkin and Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel Natan Sharansky.

Overall, more than 3,000 immigrants from France are expected to arrive in Israel during July and August – nearly as many as arrived throughout all of 2013.
