Coming to a land at war to find peace, Jews continue to make aliyah. Throughout this difficult time in Israel’s history and with support from the Annual Campaign, thousands of Jews continue to go to a land at war to find peace. From 2001 to 2002, immigration from Argentina to Israel increased from 1,375 to more than 6,000; immigration from France to Israel increased from 1,007 to 2,035; immigration from the former Soviet Union in 2002 was 18,508 and from Ethiopia it was almost 3,000. A total of 35,539 people from more than 30 countries immigrated to Israel last year.
