week for the 240 new North
American olim who arrived
on the special "Kadima
Aliya" El Al flight from
New York.
Wearing the blue T-shirts
emblazoned with the words,
"I made aliya on El Al"
given them upon departure,
the new Israelis descended
from the 747 jet to the
strains of "Havaynu
Shalom Aleichem" played
by the Youth Aliya or-
chestra of Haifa.
In the official welcoming
ceremony that followed,
Deputy Premier David Levy
urged the olim to "make
your contribution like those
who came before you," a
sentiment also expressed by
Elaine Kopp, chairman of
the Association of Ameri-
cans and Canadians in Is-
rael (AACI). "The land,"
Levy continued, "is not only
for those who are already
here but for those who are
coming now and in the fu-
ture."
He later told the Jewish

he hopes this planeload
— the largest contingent
of North American olim
ever to arrive on one
flight — would be the
forefunner of mass aliya.
When asked what factors
would bring this about,
he replied, "Freedom,
education and homes."
Rafael Kotlowitz, head of
the Jewish Agency aliya
department, told the olim
that there had been a surge
of aliya from the West since
1973. He called for a pro-
gram of public rental hous-
ing to meet the immigrants
housing problems.
Moshe Schechter, direc-
tor of the Israel Aliya Cen-
ter in New York which ar-
ranged the special flight to
mark the 18 years since its
inception, said the center
hopes for 4,000 North
American olim in 1983.
Earlier he informed JTA
that the July and August
numbers are expected to
total 600.
As the exhausted but
exhilarated olim mounted
buses for the airport build-
ings, they were each handed
a rose, courtesy of the Coun-
cil for Flowers in Israel.
They proceeded to a large
room where Naamat/

sandwiches and cold drinks
as nine AACI volunteers
began to "walk them
through" the initial part of
the absorption process.
Sixteen states and two
Canadian provinces
were represented among
the olim on the flight.
Also among them were 30
returning Israelis, the
spouses and children of
North American olim.
Joining them on the
plane were 80 partici-
pants in the "Mivtza Elef"
(Project 1000), a summer
work program for people
contemplating aliya.

markably well-behaved, in-
cluded 20 infants, most of
them in bassinets. The
youngest oleh was a 5 1/2-
week-old boy, Shmuel Dov
Feifer, the eight-pound,
dark-haired son of Sharon
and Avrum Feifer of Brook-
lyn.
Also on the flight — and
also very well-behaved was
Fred and Renee Schiller's
dog, Lucky ("We've changed
the name to Mazal," said the
olim from Spring Valley,
N.Y.), who slept on their
laps, and Annie, the cat,
brought along from Flush-
ing, N.Y. by William and
Melanie Schoenfield and
their three children.
About 40 percent of the
olim on the flight consisted
of observant people, a per-
centage typical of current
North American aliya, ac-
cording to Schechter.
Naftali Lavie, the Israel
council general in New
York, warmly congratu-
lated the olim on graduat-
ing from "observers of Is-
rael's development" to
being "partners in the
historic endeavor of
building a homeland for
the Jewish people."
Fred Schiller, a former
president of the North
American Aliya movement
(NAAM), also spoke as he
did later, at the airport.
In that second ceremony
he told how, while in the
process of packing, he and
his wife came across some-
thing greatly treasured.
"It was the blue and white
Jewish National Fund box
used for years by my par-
ents and grandparents" to
carry out their Zionist
commitment. "We are fol-
lowing in that tradition," he
said.
