The Binyamin Regional Council has launched a new initiative aimed at bring an additional 1,000 families to live to live within its boundaries. So far 120 families have committed to making their homes in the Binyamin area, which is located just north of Jerusalem. Included in that number, are new immigrants from France and Argentina who will be arriving in Israel in the coming weeks. Council spokesman Elazar Sela told Arutz 7 today that he hopes that many families already living in Israel will consider moving to Binyamin as well.
