Over the weekend 240 members of India’s Bnei Menashe community arrived in Israel, marking the latest convoy of immigrants brought as part of a government-backed effort to relocate the entire community.
The flight, which landed at Ben Gurion Airport, was welcomed by a delegation including Israel’s Aliyah minister and the chairman of The Jewish Agency for Israel.
It was the first of three flights expected over the next two weeks that will bring roughly 600 members of the Bnei Menashe community.
