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).

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/ Pioneer. Women served 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.

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.
