The Fellowship continues to expand its aliyah (immigration) efforts, with two more Freedom Flights landing this week with nearly 300 olim (immigrants) from France and Ukraine. The Jerusalem Post reports that more such flights this summer will bring 2,000 Jewish immigrants from 15 countries to their historic and biblical home in the Holy Land:

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is funding two “Freedom Flights to Israel” this week, one from France and another from Ukraine.

The second, carrying 200 Ukrainian immigrants, will land later in the day.
