As mentioned in an earlier email, the Quad Cities Night to Honor Israel (QCNTHI) committee has voted that this year's FREE WILL OFFERING will go to support "OPERATION WINGS OF DAWN," the immigration to Israel of 6,000 Jews from northeast India. These Indian Jews are called Bnei Menashe, and claim to be descendants from the biblical Tribe of Manasseh, one of the 10 lost tribes of Israel exiled in 720 BC by the Neo-Assyrian Empire. On April 23rd, the first planeload of 250 Indian Jews arrived at Ben Gurion Airport, and it is expected that 1200 will arrive by the end of 2026.
