The number of young French Jews registering for Israel’s SAT entrance exam has doubled this year, driven by a surge in antisemitism following Hamas’ October 7 attack, according to organizers of the exam in Paris and Marseille.
The tests are part of the “Aliyah Track” program, run by the World Zionist Organization’s Aliyah Promotion Department, which prepares potential immigrants with academic tools to pursue and complete university degrees in Israel.
