The 11th Million

Young French Jews increasingly see Israel as home, with 80% of program participants ultimately making aliyah despite economic hurdles and social integration challenges.

Antisemitism, government betrayal, and fear for the future drove 889 British Jews to immigrate to Israel in 2025 – the highest number in two decades and more than double the pre-war total.

Today’s olim can help boost Israel’s economy, filling crucial gaps in the workforce and contributing to Israel’s culture of entrepreneurship and innovation. Finding a field where they can grow and thrive is important, often requiring immigrants to ask "Where am I needed now?" instead of focusing only on "What jobs here match my past?"

New immigrants arriving in Israel are eligible for substantial financial assistance during their first year through the Absorption Basket program.

For no fewer than 21,900 people, 2025 marked the fulfillment of a dream. Some enlisted in the IDF; others realized a 70-year-old aspiration. These are eight stories of people who chose to immigrate to Israel this year, against all odds.

Israel’s population grew by just 0.9% this year, far below the long-standing annual rate of at least 1.5%. The reasons include deepening social rifts, a soaring cost of living and a growing burden borne almost exclusively by the working public.

Around 150,000 Israelis have left the country over the past two and a half years. These are strong, talented people, the kind of people countries seek to import, not export. Ignoring the flight of human capital is a strategic choice, and it carries an irreversible price.

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, Israel Hayom launched the "11th Million," a  Zionist call to turn a vision into reality: the immigration of one million Jews to the State of Israel over the next decade.
