Amid war and uncertainty, thousands of Diaspora Jewish families are feeling Israel’s unwavering pull.

Test your knowledge of the North African Jewish community that Israel has sought to rescue for 30-plus years.

Aliyah from Russia rose by 72 percent to 7,884 arrivals this year. The number of Ukrainian Jews making aliyah was likewise up.

Despite challenges, retirees enjoy rewarding new lives in Israel, where they are a force as volunteers.
