True joy and pride were at peak levels in Ben Gurion Airport Thursday morning as a planeload of olim from the United States arrived on a Nefesh B´Nefesh flight.

"This is like 40 years of a dream coming true… love it!"… "Why do we do it? Because we looove Israel! Woooo!"… "It´s a fulfillment of a prophecy after 2,000 years. May I feel this way every day!"… "I´m so happy I´ve been crying the whole flight"…

These were some of the utterances made by joyful olim who spoke to Arutz Sheva upon landing in Israel.

All we can add is: Bruchim haba´im – welcome! May we all feel this way every day.
