Michael Freund wins “Aliyah Award”
Shavei Israel Chairman Michael Freund has won the second annual “Aliyah Award” in recognition of the thousands of Jews that Shavei Israel has brought to Israel from India, China, Iberia, South America, Poland and more.
The ceremony last week at Kibbutz Ramat Rachel in Jerusalem was attended by more than 2,000 pilgrims from some 150 countries. The award was presented jointly by Pastor Tom Hess of the All Nations Prayer Convocation and Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky.
What a great way to start the New Year. And a reminder of the critical work that Shavei Israel plays in building a Jewish future in the Holy Land. To all those Jews waiting their turn to make aliyah, we wish them “Next year in Jerusalem!”
