Another 220 Nefesh B’Nefesh olim (new immigrants) will arrive in Ben-Gurion International Airport on Thursday morning, with the group ranging in age from 2-87 years old.

Undoubtedly, the flight’s celebrity will be Tracy Levy, from Houston, Texas, who has become the organization’s 15,000th new immigrant.

The summer will be a busy one for NBN, having scheduled 13 aliyah flights in the coming months, bringing home some 2,000 people from North America.

As is the case with arriving NBN flights, notables will be on hand to greet the new olim and to enhance this vital stage in their aliyah process.
