DESCRIPTION:

Around 1488 BC, the Torah, the holy book of Judaism, teaches that Joshua crossed the River Jordan with the Israelites. Crossing the Jordan (an actual river) is equated with entering a new life. The Israelites were people from multiple tribes bound by the Hebrew language and a belief in one God; they were among many tribes in the area, each with different languages and gods.

The Israelites, estimated at approximately 18,000 people, arrived in the region of the Levant at the beginning of the late Bronze Age, during the tenth month of the Hebrew calendar, Nisan. In the Torah, this region is called Canaan or the Promised Land, referencing God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:17, which provides a place to live for the many nations (peoples of many cultures) of Abraham's descendants, a covenant based upon obedience. All three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are descendants of Abraham.

In 2016, the Israeli Knesset (Congress / Parliament) voted to make the seventh of the Hebrew month Cheshvan "Aliyah Day" to mark this event and pay tribute to Jewish immigrants' contributions to the nation-state of Israel. Aliyah is a term associated with political Zionism to describe when a Jewish person leaves their birth nation and emigrates to Israel.

The State of Israel celebrates this as a national holiday, though businesses and schools remain open.
