A group of twenty families from France have arrived to settle in Kochav HaShachar, northeast of Pisgat Zev, Jerusalem. The group made aliyah together a few weeks ago and went directly to Kochav HaShachar. Last year, another group of 20 families immigrated to the community of Eli, also in the Benjamin Region, from Paris and Marseilles. Other members of the group decided to settle in Ashdod and Netanya.
