The Knesset of Israel approved the bill '' Immigrant Day". The law states that the final approved seventh day of Heshvan will be the date of "Immigrant Day". Over 16% of the IGRA database collection deals with immigration or includes information of when the people immigrated to Eretz Israel from different archives in Israel and the National Archives of UK in London.

41. JDC Partners with
Israel Genealogy Research
Association (IGRA)
The JDC Archives is providing IGRA with the primary names from
each index record, which IGRA will translate from English to
Hebrew. IGRA will add these names to its database with a direct
link to the complete record and document in the JDC Names
Index. The Hebrew translations will be especially valuable for the
Operation Magic Carpet lists, as many Yemenite Jewish names
were spelled inconsistently in the original English-language lists.
This collaboration will help raise further
awareness of JDC’s archival resources in
Israel and throughout the world, increasing
both their discoverability and their
accessibility to diverse research
communities.
