On October 8, even prior to the disclosure of Israel-related news by several major media outlets, the Department of Aliyah Promotion within the World Zionist Organization, under the leadership of its North American director, Eugene Lekah, organized an emergency rally in New York City.
Many students from the department’s ulpanim for the encouragement of Aliyah have proven their commitment to Israel and have lent a shoulder during times of war to the country, to the soldiers, and to the residents.
