Prime Minister's wife Sara Netanyahu participated in the arrival of 242 new immigrants from the United States and Canada on a special flight of the Nefesh b'Nefesh organization today.

"You, the lone soldiers, I especially welcome: Welcome to Israel and welcome to the IDF. You left a warm home, family, and friends, to make aliya and join Israel's success story and come here to your home, our home. All the people of Israel embrace you. Today, we are all your family, even if you are called lone soldiers - you are not alone; we are always with you. Remember to call Dad and Mom at every opportunity. Tell them about your service and the wonderful country, and most importantly, watch over us, guard Israel, and look after yourself," she said.
