"Each year we gathered more documents, we did the house hunting, but man plans and God laughs. Hashem put a lot of different things into place, thank God, this year with the services of Nefesh B'Nefesh, we're very excited!" - Rebbeca Kessler @KlitaGov @JewishAgency #LiveLoveIsrael #Israel #Aliyah #WelcomeHome

“My grandmother was from Petah Tikva before moving to the U.S., and I dreamed of coming back to build my life here. In 2016, after graduating from the University of Minnesota, I came to Petah Tikva to teach English through a @MasaIsrael program. Within months, I knew I was home. The next summer I made Aliyah and moved to Jerusalem. I worked as a waitress and started the international Master of Public Health program at @HebrewU. After some time I decided to switch from the International MPH program to the Israeli one to improve my Hebrew and integrate more. At the start it was very overwhelming. I would sit in class with a recording device and a pocket notebook where I’d jot down every unfamiliar word. Over time it got easier and I noticed I was actually becoming familiar with Israeli health jargon. I realized that while I enjoy research, my true passion has always been helping people directly. I rekindled my dream of becoming a dentist which I had initially given up after making Aliyah. I had assumed that with only two dental schools in the country, my not yet fluent Hebrew, and a very competitive application process I would never get accepted. I was inspired by the healthcare professionals around me who could help people directly and I realized that I wanted to help people find their smile. I started to study for the Psychometry, applied, and was accepted to dental school at @TelAvivUni. Since moving to TLV, life has had its challenges but has also been rewarding. I married my Israeli husband, had two amazing children, and have been slowly but surely working towards my dentistry degree. In our student clinic, we treat patients under the close supervision of experienced specialists and dentists. We're exceptionally thorough, explain every procedure, and make dental care an approachable and accessible experience. Students are responsible for finding their own patients and I'm currently welcoming new cases! If you or someone you know is looking for attentive, high-quality dental care at a reduced rate, I'd love to treat you in our Tel Aviv clinic! DM or email tamarvishnevsky@gmail.com for more info!” - Tamar Vishnevsky #Israel #Aliyah

Great to visit the Aliyah Fair and MedEx UK in London this weekend, and to meet Dganit Sankar-Langa, Director General of Israel’s Ministry of Aliyah and Integration. 🇮🇱 Inspiring to meet so many people exploring their future in Israel, including over 130 doctors looking to contribute to Israel’s healthcare system. Yet concerning to hear their fears about the future of Jewish life in the UK. Thank you to the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, @JewishAgency, @NefeshBNefesh, MedEx and all participating organisations for making it happen! #Aliyah #MedExUK

MedEx UK 🇬🇧👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🇮🇱 Yesterday, over 130 British doctors looking to move to Israel came to MedEx UK in London - this is the second MedEx UK, after the first in 2024. They were joined by 29 medical students and 14 employers. Doctors got direct access to Israeli medical and government representatives to help move their Aliyah forward. Physicians in attendance worked on converting their medical licenses, explored job options, and got information on financial assistance and Ulpan options. Some took the YAEL Hebrew proficiency exam. A newly developed app tracked their meetings with employers. During the event, doctors planning to make Aliyah in the coming months submitted their license conversion applications to Israel’s Ministry of Health. MedEx is part of the International Medical Aliyah Program (IMAP), launched in 2024 to bring 2,000 doctors to Israel by 2029. The goal is to strengthen the healthcare system, especially in the North and South. Hosted by @NefeshBNefesh in partnership with @KlitaGov, @IsraelMOH, @negevgalil and @JewishAgency. The program is supported by the Marcus Foundation, the Gottesman Fund, @jfederations Federations of North America, the @azrielifdn Foundation, and the Arison Foundation. 📸by Meron Persey Photography #LiveLoveIsrael #Israel #Aliyah #MedEx #UKDoctors

"There's never going to be a perfect time. And you sometimes just have to take the step and just do it. Do your part and hopefully everything works out." We are still so excited about the nearly 300 people that came out to Long Island, NY earlier this month to continue or jumpstart their Aliyah process.

Yom Siddurim 2026 💚 9,200 IDF Lone Soldiers came to the EXPO Tel Aviv today for Yom Siddurim, the annual day where government, military and civilian services all set up under one roof. Olim from around the world were there alongside Israeli Lone Soldiers from across the country. The goal: knock out the bureaucracy and everyday stuff that’s hard to deal with while you’re in uniform. 70+ ministries, agencies, organizations and service providers were on site helping with: - Driver’s license conversions - Biometric IDs and passports - National Insurance - Housing - Employment - Academic degree recognition - Banking - Legal guidance - Military benefits - Aliyah services Soldiers could also learn about the resilience programming and emotional support resources from the Nefesh B'Nefesh-FIDF Lone Soldiers Program with mental health support for Lone Soldiers, reservists and soldiers returning to civilian life. Organized by the Nefesh B’Nefesh-FIDF Lone Soldiers Program and Merkaz Habodedim, with the Mofet Unit of the IDF Manpower Directorate and the Association for Israel's Soldiers, as part of the IDF’s annual Lone Soldier Appreciation Week. *The NBN–FIDF Lone Soldiers Program supports Olim who make Aliyah and are required to serve in the IDF, offering practical and community-based support before, during, and after their mandatory service* 📸 Sivan Shachor @FIDF @idfonline

“Since making Aliyah 25 years ago and having a front row seat to watch over 100,000 people make Aliyah, I think I have a different or nuanced appreciation of Parshat Lech Lecha...” - Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Nefesh B'Nefesh This week is Shabbat Lech Lecha, the Shabbat of Aliyah and we’re excited to honor those who heard the call and said yes. We’re bringing Shabbat of Aliyah to communities across North America with NBN-Sponsored Kiddushim - thank you to all who participated 💙 Here’s to those who made Aliyah, those on their way home, those arriving this year and the ones just starting out. Wherever you are in the journey, we are here for you! #LiveLoveIsrael #Israel #Aliyah #WelcomeHome #ParashatLechLecha
