Prior to going through security at JFK and boarding our flight, we paused for a brief departure ceremony. Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, the co-founder of Nefesh B'Nefesh, remarked that there are many different individuals and families that are going to be on the plane, yet we all share the same journey. There is the same magic that brings us together and he wanted to emphasize the importance of this 42nd Nefesh B'Nefesh flight and to reflect on the momentous occasion.
Rabbi Fass commented on Psalm 126: ״את שיבת ציון היינו כחולמים״
"The return to Zion we were like dreamers" - it would be like a dream, but it is your reality today.
I thought those were pretty simple, yet inspiring and exciting words, given our imminent return to Israel, as a group of 232 and part of a larger contingent of 3,000 new immigrants from just Nefesh B'Nefesh flights this summer alone.
