The Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom received a special award from the organization Ha'Baita for its contributions to encouraging immigration to Israel. The award cited the newspaper's role in promoting public discourse and providing a platform for the issue of immigration.
The honor was presented at the organization's annual immigration conference, "Receiving the Next Million," held at Cinema City in Jerusalem. The conference brought together government ministers, decision-makers, professionals, and community leaders to discuss the transition from bureaucratic responses to comprehensive community, educational, and social support for mass immigration.
Amir Lachmanovitch, Editor-in-Chief of Israel Hayom, stated that the newspaper's duty extends beyond reflecting reality to creating hope and future prospects. He highlighted the newspaper's ongoing project, "The 11th Million," which calls for a national plan to absorb one million Jews in Israel within a decade. Lachmanovitch emphasized that large-scale immigration is not only a strong response to global antisemitism but also a key driver for national resilience and security.
Notable attendees and speakers at the multi-lingual conference included Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli, President of the World Zionist Organization Rabbi Doron Peretz, Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Culture and Sports Miki Zohar, Minister of Heritage Amichai Eliyahu, Minister of Settlement and National Missions Orit Strock, Chairman of the Jewish Agency Doron Almog, Chairman of KKL Eyal Ostrovsky, and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.
Ha'Baita CEOs Natanel Rotenberg and Yosef Choter stressed that large-scale immigration is a engine for national growth and resilience. They aim to ensure that every new oleh (immigrant) feels immediately at home, not just possessing an identity card but a sense of belonging.
