Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu greeted the 210 new immigrants who arrived from North America on a chartered flight Tuesday morning by speaking about his recent visit to Tel Shilo. Netanyahu reminded the new arrivals that "this is our land."

Nefesh B'Nefesh co-founder Rabbi Yehoshua Fass told the new arrivals: "You left home, but you have also arrived home. Welcome home!" 

Fass's organization has assisted in bringing thousands of North American Jews "home" to Israel.
