An 80-member Emunah Canada Family Mission from Montreal arrived in Israel this week, spending two days in Be’er Sheva, Montreal’s twin city. The group will tour Israel, with special emphasis on Emunah Canada’s many projects in Israel. Among the participants are four Bat Mitzvah girls who will be celebrating together with the Bat Mitzvah girls of Emunah Neve Michael Children’s Village in Pardes Chana. The highlight of their visit will be a reception held in their honor at the President's Residence in Jerusalem, attended by First Lady Mrs. Gila Katzav and Mrs. Naomi Leibler, President of World Emunah.



The number of visitors to Israel in January was 73,000 - 4% higher than in January of last year.
