A group of twenty families moved from France and arrived in Kochav HaShachar, northeast of Jerusalem. The group made aliyah (immigrated) together a few weeks ago and went directly to the small Shomron town. Last year, another group of 20 families from Paris and Marseilles immigrated to the community of Eli, also in the Binyamin Region. Other families preferred to settle in Ashdod and Netanya.
