| | Aliyah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Aliyah is an important Jewish cultural concept and a fundamental concept of Zionism that is enshrined in Israel's Law of Return, which permits any Jew the legal right to assisted immigration and settlement in Israel, as well as automatic Israeli citizenship. | | | In Zionist history, different waves of aliyah, beginning with the arrival of the Biluim from Russia in 1882, are known as aliyot (the plural of aliyah). | | | Aliyah (Hebrew:עלייה; "ascent" or "going up") is a term widely used to mean Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel (and since its establishment in 1948, the State of Israel). |

| | "Is Making Aliyah Making a Comeback?" by Cinnamon Stillwell |
| | Aliyah is a Hebrew word that means ''to ascend.'' The term making Aliyah is defined on several levels, the simplest being to immigrate to Israel. | | | In a larger sense, Aliyah describes ''the return of the Jewish People from the exile in the Diaspora back to the Land of Israel.'' On a cultural level, Aliyah serves to strengthen Jewish identity in the face of worldwide assimilation. | | | The spiritual meaning of Aliyah, is ''growing in the knowledge and understanding of God by climbing a spiritual ladder.'' Legalistically, Aliyah is based on Israels Law of Return. |

| | But a few months into an active aliyah campaign, some members of the community are reacting warily, saying it plays on people's fears and is aimed at attracting mostly Orthodox young people. | | | It also is organizing major events, some about aliyah and others that do not focus directly on aliyah but are meant to encourage it nonetheless. | | | A similar number of Jews made aliyah from the United States in 2004, out of a Jewish population of more than 5 million. |

| | The stature of maftir is greater than any other aliyah, even than the final aliyah which includes the recitation of half-kaddish after the reading. | | | After these aliyot the maftir is called to the Torah for the final aliyah. | | | In extenuating circumstances, such as when a blind person has a "yarssheit" and very much wishes to receive an aliyah, he may be given the maftir aliyah, since seven people have already been called to the Torah in fulfillment of the day's obligation. |

| | Aliyah, the act of formally coming to live in Israel, is one of the foundation stones upon which the State of Israel was and continues to be built. | | | Aliyah from this point onwards was largely clandestine, facilitated by underground groups such as the Haganah. | | | It is important to couple practical information with the emotional desire to make Aliyah in order to make the move at the time that gives Aliyah the greatest chance of success. |

| | According to Lisa Berlin, an Israeli who works for the British Aliyah Movement in Britain and leader of the trip, the aim of the programme was to, "try and enrich and ease the Aliyah process for people making Aliyah" and for potential Olim to, "understand more about that process". | | | But for most of Tafnit's participants, the motivation to overcome these challenges stems from deeply held ideological beliefs in the importance of Aliyah. | | | For Gideon Rabinowitz, 23 of Hendon, Aliyah is a consideration because; "This is the homeland of the Jewish people, where we can be most creative and inspired with Jewish practice." According to Gideon it is in Israel that, "there is much more freedom to express yourself without fear or prejudice." |

Chatan Torah is the last aliyah of the Torah and Chatan Bereishit is the first aliyah of the new cycle of the reading, which also takes place on Simchat Torah. | | | Torah is Gds teaching to man.

| | PALESTINE/ISRAEL |
| | Dov Berel and Elka arrived in Palestine during this period. They came from the United States. For them it was not so much as Aliyah. People who made Aliyah went there to live. That was in part true. More likely for older Jews, they went to die and be buried there. | | | World War I ended in 1918. As immigration to the Untied States decreased significantly after the war, Aliyah to Palestine increased. Between 1919 and 1926 almost 100,000 Jews immigrated to a Palestine that was a demoralized, impoverished community at the time. | | | Chiam Ajzenberg, third son of Dov Berel and Elka, with his wife Libby/Liba, were the first Ajzenbergs from Telekhan to immigrate to Palestine. The year was 1922 during the third Aliyah, not long after the end of World War I. They settled in Hadera. |

| | Aliyah from WUJS |
| | To the extent that aliyah is about Israel and not strengthening Jewish identity, follow-up has to be seen as equally important to going to Israel in the first place. | | | The strange thing about aliyah is how many people totally neglect to have any sort of plan for what to do once they get there. | | | If a person makes aliyah for ideological reasons the plan can go something like this: 'I have to go and live in Israel because I believe it is the right thing to do'. |
