Two 90 Years Old Sisters Make Aliyah

Gary Fitleberg, December 30, 2004

Better late than never.

Two New Jersey sisters in their 90s immigrated to Israel.

Irma Haas, 97, and Hilde Meyer, 94, both Holocaust survivors, arrived in Israel this week as part of a group of 250 immigrants brought by the Nefesh B’Nefesh organization and the Jewish Agency for Israel. They described making aliyah as the realization of a lifelong dream. Some 3,000 North American Jews have moved to Israel this year, the most in 21 years.
