(Jerusalem Post) Melissa Radler- An El Al jet carrying 318 North American immigrants to Israel landed Wednesday, sponsored by the Nefesh B'Nefesh organization. Asked about security concerns, Binyamin Katzman, 28, who worked in Manhattan, said he feels safe here. "I saw the World Trade Center fall down and it gave me a new perspective," he said. Nefesh B'Nefesh is bringing an additional 300 olim on July 23, and another 300 in August and September. Of the more than 500 immigrants the organization brought here last year, just one has returned to the U.S., and 93% of those seeking jobs upon arrival are currently employed.
