Nefesh B’Nefesh to stage ‘mega’ events in 8 US cities


Aliya group aims for 5,000 olim this year, 100,000 in the next decade.

By E.B. SOLOMONT, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK – Hoping to encourage 5,000 new olim this year, Nefesh B’Nefesh is holding eight “mega” aliya events in cities across North America this week.

Starting Sunday in New York, the events will feature information sessions and one-on-one consultations for people preparing for life in Israel. The events also will promote the “Go North” program, which offers financial incentives to olim who move to Northern Israel.

But Nefesh B’Nefesh officials, who say they hope to reach 100,000 olim over the next 10 years, will also use the “mega” event as a major push toward that goal. “We’re cautiously optimistic,” said Danny Oberman, Nefesh B’Nefesh’s vice president for Israel operations, who noted there has been an uptick in aliya because of economic reasons in the past year.

Organizers expect some 2,000 people to attend events in New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Baltimore, Toronto, San Francisco, Chicago and Florida. “The vast majority of people attending will be making aliya, if not this year, in the next two or three years,” Oberman said.

The “mega” events will feature practical seminars and workshops about education, real estate and financial planning; ministers from the absorption, health and development ministries will be on hand to answer questions, including Prime Minister’s Office director-general Eyal Gabai and Regional Development Minister Silvan Shalom, who will be promoting aliya to the Galilee or Negev.

“We are trying to give them more information about what’s going on there,” because the areas are largely underpopulated, Shalom told The Jerusalem Post. “By coming to Israel, they are real Zionists. If they would like to be extra, Negev and Galilee are places to go.”

Shalom outlined a vision to bring hundreds of thousands of people to the Galilee and Negev by 2020. “The purpose is to try to convince those new olim that are asking to come to Israel to come to settle in the Galilee and the Negev, and not only in the Tel Aviv area or in Jerusalem,” he said.

Nefesh B’Nefesh and the Israeli government are also using the “mega” events to promote a joint initiative to encourage olim to settle in the Negev and Galilee. Under the initiative, olim who move to those communities are eligible for $1,000 from both Nefesh B’Nefesh and the Israeli government.

Oberman said the “mega” events fulfilled two goals: to answer questions about aliya and to create a positive social dynamic among potential olim. Oberman said the timing was critical, since many people who move to Israel during the summer months make their plans several months earlier.

In New York and Los Angeles, special seminars are geared toward medical professionals. For the first time, dentists who are making aliya can begin to take licensing exams in the US.

Since 2002, Nefesh B’Nefesh says it has helped bring 24,000 olim from North America and the United Kingdom. This past year, they said close to 4,500 made aliya. This year, the goal is 5,000.

“There’s a very high level of recognition on the part of Israeli government that aliya is critical,” said Oberman.

When Stanley Fischer immigrated to Israel from America in 2005, it was one of the best things that could have happened…both for the Jewish State AND for Stanley Fischer. Israel gained one of the top financial minds in the world to run the Bank of Israel and Fischer got to live in his homeland and raise his family in the best place in the world for Jews. We can only hope that he takes on another 5-year term as governor…

Money managers: Stanley Fischer

Will Stanley Fischer stay on for a second term as governor of the Bank of Israel? A cool 100% of the investment managers polled by the CFO Forum said they hoped so.

Haaretz.com

The question posed by the forum of money managers was, “Do you think that it would be good for the Israeli economy if Prof. Stanley Fischer accepts a second term as governor of the Bank of Israel?” All said yes.

The survey was conducted on February 21, and polled 120 top money managers in corporate Israel. Among the respondents, 42% belong to companies with annual turnovers greater than $200 million, 44% work for companies with turnovers ranging from $40 million to $200 million, and the rest work for companies with revenues below $40 million.

Fischer joined the Bank of Israel on May 1, 2005. Under the law, his tenure is limited to five years, meaning his contract expires on May 1, 2010. Government officials have been sending feelers to Fischer to see if he’d agree to stay: So far he hasn’t issued any statements. Meanwhile, ahead of that date, the CFOs Forum, representing 650 money managers in corporate Israel, decided to check and see how they feel about his performance.

In answer to the question, “Did Prof. Fischer’s policy contribute to the State of Israel’s ability to cope with the global economic crisis?”, zero checked the “Not at all” square; one, or 0.8% of respondents, answered that he contributed “a little” and 26% said that it “contributed.” The majority, 73%, answered that it “contributed greatly”.

Looking at the CFOs Forum surveys over the years, Fischer has been a resounding success throughout. From the start of his term in 2005 to date, their respect for the Bank of Israel has constantly increased, while respect for other economic policy-makers has sharply declined.
