Who is the Auckland
Jewish Immigration?
The purpose of the AJI is to bolster the numbers of members
to strengthen and enrich the future of the AHC (Auckland Hebrew
Congregation). If you qualify and are prepared to join our
congregation as a member of the AHC, we will do all we can
to smooth the way for you to be able to immigrate.
The AJI is a voluntary organization and our services are
free. One of its key objectives is to welcome, settle and
help integrate newly arrived families not only into the congregation
but also into the broader community irrespective of affiliation.
The only condition is that you become a member of the basic
associations that are fundamental and essential to our community's
welfare.
The AHC has been established in Auckland for over 150 years.
It is a warm caring closely knit congregation with a wide
range of organizations and activities, and would welcome potential
new members as part of its extended congregational family.

Everyone wants the Kiwi
dream
August 2010
New Zealand is the second-most desired country for potential
immigrants and letting everyone in would see the population
almost treble, according to a survey.
The country rose to second spot as the most popular migration
destination, behind Singapore, in the Gallup Potential Net
Migration Index.
New Zealand was third when the list was first compiled last
year, with a net migration index value of 175 per cent. Respondents
were asked: "If you had the opportunity, would you like
to move permanently to another country, or would you prefer
to continue living in this country?"
Researcher Elsie Ho, from the University of Auckland's School
of Population Health, says New Zealand's clean, green image
and the perception that it is a safe country was a drawcard.

New Zealand one of world's
'lifestyle superpowers'
May 2010
BBC correspondent Nick Bryant says he wishes the rest
of the world could be more like New Zealand.
New Zealand is "one of the great lifestyle superpowers
of the world" according to the BBC's Sydney correspondent
Nick Bryant, who wonders in a post on bbc.co.uk why the rest
of the world can't be more like little ol' Aotearoa.
Bryant's thoughts, penned following a recent visit to our
shores, were prompted by an encounter with "a middle-aged
customs official with a sense of humour", the discovery
that New Zealand has a 24-hour rugby channel, our "funky"
arts scene and the "quaint fastidiousness" which
still sees cricket commentators convene on the boundary during
the tea break to enjoy - of all things, a pot of tea.
He points out too, that New Zealand can be "edgy and
forward", citing the fact we were the first country in
the world to give women the vote and the impending launch
of the "world's most comprehensive emissions trading
scheme to curb greenhouse gases".
"Best of all, perhaps, is how non-indigenous New Zealanders
live in such harmony with their indigenous compatriots,"
writes Bryant, whose piece is among the most-read articles
on bbc.co.uk today.
"Next year [New Zealand] hosts the Rugby World Cup,"
he concludes, "but for now I will leave this country
with my usual parting thought: 'Why can't the rest of the
world be more like New Zealand?'"
Earlier this year, an index compiled by International Living
magazine ranked new Zealand as the fifth-best country in the
world to live in.
The index ranks 194 countries, taking into account cost of
living, culture and leisure, economy, environment, freedom,
health, infrastructure, safety and risk, and climate.
New Zealand's "pristine landscapes", the Auckland
waterfront and the Southern Alps were singled out for special
mention.
What they said about New Zealand:
"There's a real purity in New Zealand that doesn't exist
in the States. It's actually not an easy thing to find in
our world any more.
- Actor Elijah Wood
"Fiordland, ladies and gentlemen. What a spectacle.
Earth Destination Number One... To throw words at such a spectacle
would be like throwing meringues at a charging rhinoceros.
Fruitless. (Unless it's banana pavlova).
- Actor Stephen Fry
"I find that the girls [in New Zealand] are so like,
beyond warm and polite. I don't know, do you guys have haters?
America's all about haters. I don't feel that here... I always
wanted to come to New Zealand, because the terrain is like,
insanely gorgeous."
- Host of America's Next Top Model Tyra Banks
