Ingathering of Exiles to Israel

Weekday Amidah

And gather us together from the four corners of the earth.

עמידה לחול
וְקַבְּצֵנוּ יַחַד מֵאַרְבַּע כַּנְפוֹת הָאָרֶץ
From Israel's Declaration of Independence

THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice, and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel.

מגילת העצמאות
מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל תְּהֵא פְּתוּחָה לַעֲלִיָה יְהוּדִית וּלְקִיבּוּץ גָלוּיוֹת, תִּשְׁקוֹד עַל פִּיתוּחַ הָאָרֶץ לְטוֹבַת כָּל תּוֹשָׁבֶיהָ: תְּהֵא מושְׁתֶּתֶת עַל יְסוֹדוֹת הַחֵירוּת, הַצֶדֶק, וְהַשָׁלוֹם לְאוֹר חֲזוֹנָם שֶׁל נְבִיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
