Warren and Leah Phillips are a few weeks into a brand new life. They moved from Manchester to Israel in mid-August with their two daughters Evie, 18, and Rosie, 14. The family began inquiring about the move in December 2023.

“We wanted a better future for our family. We were looking to be strongly connected to the Jewish nation and be among its people, especially after October 7,” Phillips told the JC.

The family are just four of thousands of Jews worldwide who have either made aliyah or considered it since October 7. According to new data from the Jewish Agency approximately 30,000 people have expressed the desire to immigrate to Israel in the last 10 months.
