JERUSALEM — Israeli authorities say 16,200 Jews moved to the country in 2009, the first yearly increase in a decade.
The quasi-governmental Jewish Agency handles immigration to Israel. In a statement, it said in 2008, almost 14,000 Jews came to live in Israel.
The statement said 7,120 immigrants came from the former Soviet Union this year, and 5,300 came from English-speaking countries.
Both increased over 2008.
