The half-day programs are part of a series of specially tailored programs, events and individual counseling sessions taking place throughout the U.S., Canada and UK this winter, the organization says.



The programming is designed for those already actively planning their immigration, as well as those merely contemplating Aliyah. Pre- and Post-Aliyah guidance and strategies will be discussed as well as services and benefits offered by

Nefesh B’Nefesh (NbN). The events will include seminars, videos and other presentations focusing on specific issues such as children, families, education and networking in Israel.



There will also be individual sessions run by a team of experts who will fly in from Israel to offer first-hand professional advice to participants. “By enabling participants to tailor sessions according to their own specific interests, Nefesh B’Nefesh aims to bring more relevant and helpful information on Aliyah to local communities,” an NbN statement said. The personally tailored sessions will include: Employment, Healthcare, Community options, The Aliyah process, the Education system, Retirement, Taxes and Aliyah and others.



“Nefesh B’Nefesh’s specially designed mega-events respond to the need for on-site personal guidance by experienced professionals who can offer more useful and practical information and guidance on Aliyah,” explained Nefesh B’Nefesh Co-Founder and Executive Director, Rabbi Yehoshua Fass. “We hope this enhanced service will make it that much easier for people to actualize their dreams and make living in Israel a reality.”



The Toronto mega-event will take place on Thursday, November 30, at the Novotel North York Hotel, 3 Park Home Avenue, Toronto between 7:00 PM and 10:30 PM.



The New Jersey mega-event will take place on Sunday, December 3, at the Crowne Plaza Englewood, 401 South Van Brunt Street, Englewood, NJ between 10:15 AM and 2:00 PM.



The New York mega-event will be held on the same day at the Holiday Inn at JFK Airport, 144-02 135th Ave. Jamaica, NY between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM.



Nefesh B’Nefesh ran information events in 2005 attended by more than 12,000 participants. NbN, working together with the Jewish Agency, has successfully brought close to 10,000 new Olim (immigrants) to Israel since 2002.
