The fair also featured the participation of the mother of Israeli hero Staff Sergeant Maxim Rizhkov, who fell in battle at the Nur al-Shams refugee camp at the start of the war.

“In the past, the people needed a state, and now, especially today, the state needs its people.”

We look forward to welcoming all Jews interested in making Aliyah to their home here in Israel
