78 Bnei Menashe Arrive in Israel

Tel Aviv—Shavei Israel this morning brought a group of 78 Bnei Menashe immigrants on aliyah from the northeastern Indian state of Manipur, which borders Burma and Bangladesh. Absorption Minister Zev Elkin greeted the immigrants upon arrival.

These new Olim will be settled in Katzrin on the Golan Heights, which was the tribal patrimony of Manasseh in Biblical times. This is the first time that Shavei Israel is settling a group of Bnei Menashe on the Golan, some 2,700 years after their ancestors were exiled from the land.
