31,000 New Immigrants Moved to Israel Since Last Rosh Hashanah

There was a 350% increase in French Jews opening aliyah files.

Some 31,000 immigrants arrived in Israel under the shadow of war over the past Hebrew year, government figures released on Sunday show.

The wartime wave of aliyah from more than 100 countries comes at a time of surging antisemitism around the world.

The great majority of the immigrants came from Russia, followed by the U.S. and Canada, according to the data from the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration and the quasi-governmental Jewish Agency released ahead of Rosh Hashana, which begins on Wednesday evening.

Nearly 20,000 olim arrived from Russia, and about 3,350 came from the U.S. and Canada. There were more than 1,820 from France, 980 from Ukraine, 975 from Belarus, 560 from Great Britain, more than 450 from Argentina, more than 300 from Georgia, 280 from South Africa, 250 from Brazil, 220 from Uzbekistan, 160 from Germany, 150 from Azerbaijan, 135 from Australia, 130 from Mexico, and over 100 from Kazakhstan.
