Aid Ukraine

Please donate to help Jewish families in the Ukraine to prepare for their return to Israel!

'Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,' declares the Lord. ∼ Zechariah 2:6

With the current situation in the Ukraine, the Jewish people are now listening more than ever to the call to return to Israel - the land of their forefathers. We have encouraged them for almost 25 years to leave the land of the north and go to the Promised Land. Now it is time for the Jews to choose for Israel! Not for Europe or Russia, but for the land given to them by the G'd of Israel.

Please pray for the situation in the Ukraine, for the Jewish people, for the churches and for the local people.

Christians for Israel has set up a special fund to help Jewish people to prepare themselves to make aliyah (emigrate to Israel). With your donation we will:

Provide transportation to the Israeli Embassy
More and more people want to prepare their documents in order to be ready to leave the Ukraine and go to Israel. Because of the long distances that people have to travel to reach the embassy in their district, Christians for Israel will facilitate their transportation by renting small and big busses to drive groups from the same area to the Israeli embassy in their region.

The average cost of one person is € 135 / US $ 150
Provide shelter/accommodation for Jewish refugees
Refugees stay between 2 up to 6 weeks in different 'shelters' all over the Ukraine. Christian Aliyah organizations pays for their accommodation until the moment they will make aliyah.
The average costs to accommodate one refugee between 2-6 weeks is € 300 / US $ 325
Pay for travel documents
There are many poor families/elderly people. For those people that do not have money to pay for their paperwork and passport we will pay the costs of issuing these documents. They need these official documents in order to receive their visa for Israel (total amount per person: € 200 / US $ 225).

Total average amount per person: € 200 / US $ 225.
Food parcels
We pack and distribute thousands of food parcels for poor Jewish families and refugees all over the Ukraine. This is really a great help especially in these uncertain times.
One food parcel cost € 10 / US $ 12.
Organize Aliyah Seminars
In 2015 we organized 29 one-day seminars together with the Jewish Agency. We plan to organize at least 20 Aliyah seminars in 2016. These seminars are always very effective, and people can get all the information they need about making Aliyah.
Train more 'fishermen' for our Aliyah team
We would like to train more people to visit Jews in remote places, and help them if necessary.

Exodus from Ukraine – End of year hustle and bustle

We can look back with gratitude for the many thousands of olim who came home for good from Ukraine and other former Soviet Republics since the beginning of this year (2017). Every month more than 2,000 Jewish men and women make aliyah world wide and more than 25 percent of them come from Ukraine. In November alone from Ukraine 728 olim and in the month of December more than 1,000 Jewish men and women will have made this journey or plan to do so.

I should not be afraid... The story of Anna Borisovna

We met a long time ago at one of the events of Kiev Hesed. I do not know what was so special about her that I remembered her so well, but she always kept herself apart from the rest. Her history and background in a nutshell. Her grandmother and grandfather, Chana Iosifovna and Gersh Mordukhovich, were shot in Babi Yar along with other relatives. Anna Borisovna has an intelligent appearance, which betrays her nationality. At school, fellow students and teachers always made fun of her.

Winter wonderland for Hanukkah in Ukraine

Who would want to come to Ukraine in December, I wondered, as I was packing for another flight to Kiev just before Christmas. I was not entirely wrong with my weather concerns, but that didn’t keep seven Dutch and four German participants from heading to Ukraine for this year’s last working trip to help the Jewish people there, and to learn about what they have been through.

Thank You For Not Forgetting Us! - Jewish communities in Ukraine

By Anemone Rüger.. A fresh breeze is blowing, carrying first the Ukrainian, then the Israeli national anthem, the Hatikva. The sound travels across a wheat field onto the horizon where horse stables used to be. They served as living quarters for the Jews from the village who were enslaved as forced labourers back then, when first the Germans, then the Romanians occupied this strip of land.

Joyful reunion with Yacov

In the past few days we took olim from Zhitomir, Tjerkacci, Vinnitsa, Kherson, Chmilnitksy, Kamenets-Podolsky, Chernovtsy, Trostjanets and Lvov to the different airports for their permanent departure. Yacov and his wife Sophia were among the many olim in my minibus from the former shtetl of Trostjanets!
