Jews, a new exodus

Ebrei, un nuovo esodo

EN | IT | FR – In Hebrew it is called “aliyah”. Translated with the Italian word “ascent”, it is the pilgrimage of Jews to Israel. In recent months, from many European countries, including Belgium, Holland, and Germany, but especially from France, there has been an uninterrupted exodus of Jews towards the land of their ancestors. According to figures produced by the Israeli Ministry of Integration, between January 1 and August 31, 2014, 4,566 migrants were registered as departing from France, followed by those from Ukraine (3,252), Russia (2,632), and the United States (2,218).
