Nefesh B'Nefesh will be honored with the Jerusalem Post Award at the Jerusalem Post Annual Conference in New York on June 1 for its impactful work in Israel. The organization has played a vital role in facilitating aliyah (immigration) and integration, national service, and education since its establishment in 2002. It has successfully assisted nearly 100,000 olim, achieving a remarkable 90% retention rate. Nefesh B'Nefesh collaborates with various partners, including the Aliyah and Integration Ministry and the Jewish Agency for Israel, to address critical national needs like healthcare shortages and workforce gaps. Its flagship initiatives, such as the International Medical Aliyah Program (IMAP), help medical professionals navigate the Israeli system, while programs like Go Beyond encourage immigrants to settle in less populated areas. The organization also supports lone soldiers and National Service volunteers through housing assistance and mental health programs. Co-founders Rabbi Yehoshua Fass and Tony Gelbart stress that aliyah is not just a personal dream but a national solution, vital for Israel's future and growth.
