President Reuven Rivlin met Thursday with representatives of immigrants from Libya, Tunisia and Algeria on the eve of the Selichot penitential prayers before Rosh Hashana and the ceremony marking the awarding of the title of "Notable of the community" and "Woman of the Year".
The President blessed the participants for a good year and emphasized the extensive Zionist activity of the Jewish communities in the three northern-African countries, and their social contribution to the life of the community and society after their immigration to Israel.
