For Israel to survive and flourish as a Jewish, democratic society, aliyah remains imperative. Israel must become home to MORE Jewish people. That’s why the Jewish Agency will always remain committed to aliyah—a core value of the Jewish people.
As the ‘first responder team’ of our global partnership, the Jewish Agency continuously monitors the situation of Jews around the world, ready to take immediate action whenever the safety of Jews or their ability to live Jewish lives is threatened. It must always maintain this readiness. But clearly, the center of gravity of aliyah today is moving from rescue operations to promoting and facilitating the immigration of those who choose to make Israel their home. Aliyah of choice is currently a primary focus of the Jewish Agency.
