News that comes from both Israel and Russia, indicates a national awakening among Jews in Russia, and the beginning of a discussion about Aliyah to Israel. a young Israeli woman told of a family that had hitherto been distant from Judaism and any Jewish cultural mark, and which, due to the events within Russia, and the arena of the war in Ukraine and its effects on life in Russia, began to talk about a concentrated immigration of the family to Israel "should understand this phenomenon" said the young woman "The father of the family in this case did not know until recently at all what Judaism is"

A Jewish source now in Russia has confirmed that indeed many Jews who have so far not talked about leaving the country are starting to talk about a concentrated immigration to Israel, "They not only talk about Aliyah, but some have even started learning Hebrew" he explained that the motive for this is the new reality in Russia "Russia has a lot of problems now, and it will be even worse, and many Jews are starting to think so"

Israel is preparing for the waves of immigration from Ukraine as well as Russia, and yesterday announced that Terminal 1 at Ben Gurion Airport will be dedicated to the expected Aliyah wave from both countries
