Israel’s Cabinet voted to fund two independent aliyah organizations.
Nefesh B’ Nefesh, the United States-based aliyah organization, and Ami, a French organization, will now receive about $1,000 per immigrant directly from the state. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Immigrant Absorption Minister Ya’acov Edri supported Sunday’s funding decision.
