The Department for Zionist Activities with the cooperation of the Aliyah Department of the Jewish Agency and the Zionist Federation in France brings Zionism to Jewish communities in France
The Department for Zionist Activities, with the cooperation of the Aliyah Department of the Jewish Agency and the Zionist Federation in France, organized a Zionist Caravan to encourage aliyah throughout France. The caravan, which took place in July, visited the large Jewish communities in the suburbs of Paris: Issy les Moulineaux, Sarcelles, Garges, Choisy le Roi, Boulogne, Les Lilas, St. Brice, La Courneuve, and Creteil. They were received enthusiastically by all. The caravan included a picture exhibition of Israel, a film about the first 50 years of the State of Israel, and a lecture entitled “From Oslo to the Road Map,” given by Lieutenant-Colonel Olivia Rapovitz, the head of the Aliyah Delegation in Europe - France. The performance by five singers from Chavat Hanoar Hazioni in Jerusalem closed each visit.
