What does Aliyah mean?

'Aliyah' means to 'rise up,' and it's the term used for people of Jewish ancestry returning from the diaspora back to their Israel.

Oops! I meant to omit the word "their" before "Israel." Although I guess it kind of fits. :)
Thanks for the question, John.

I have been reading your blog, and I have to admit that I find it interesting. I am Jewish, I have lived in Israel, and recently my reserve unit was called up. Not in the IDF, but in the U.S. Army. I am on my second deployment, my first to Iraq, and I have been here for a little over 5 months. I have likewise become accustomed to the rockets, mortars, and seeing guys who I live with getting wounded; luckily nobody has been killed yet. My grandparents and great uncles fought in WWII, one liberating a camp as a corpsman where so many of our relatives had been killed, and my uncle and father in Korea. My two brothers have both served in the Army; one fought in OIF I and the first Gulf War. My father always told us that we have been given a precious gift by the United States ; the opportunity to succeed and the security to do so. He encouraged us to go into the military as a way of giving back. And while I love Israel, the United States is my home. So my question to you would be "why?" Why are so many U.S. Jews and people of Jewish descent willing to serve in the Israeli Army (by extension of living in Israel) before serving in their own? When I was in Israel I was in a number of debates with American Jews (or Jewish-Americans) on precisely this subject. Maybe you have some insight into it. Thanks.
