ICEJ Aid offers you the opportunity to partner with us in helping new immigrants as they come to Israel. God promised that He would bring back the Jewish people to the land of Israel from all over the earth and plant them in their land. Here, ICEJ Aid steps in and actively helps new immigrants get planted and rooted in Israel though grants and family visits that provide essential household items, supplies, and toys for children.
Also, ICEJ Aid works with Israeli social welfare organizations, supporting those best qualified to assess immigrant needs. Three important organizations that ICEJ Aid partners with Katef L’Katef (Shoulder to Shoulder), Tikvah International Relations, and the Ruppin Academic Center. These programs seek to aid newly immigrated families overcome obstacles that are prevalent when moving to a new country.
KATEF L'KATEF
Katef L’Katef provides families with furniture, basic needs, and helps to cover the first utility bills. This gives them a good start to be able eventually to gain independence.
TIKVAH
Tikvah, another program, seeks to help orphaned and troubled children and youth who are rescued from Odessa, Ukraine. At 16, the youth are allowed to relocate to Israel if they so desire. Tikvah focuses on the dental issues of these youth, and endeavors to help pay for dental surgeries that are badly needed due to malnutrition but are not covered by the Israeli government.
RUPPIN ACADEMIC CENTER
Ruppin Academic Center focuses on aiding Jewish immigrants from Ethiopia. For many from Ethiopia, the contrast to their former agricultural life compared to that of living in a more modern, technically advanced country is drastic. The educational need is great because many from Ethiopia cannot read or write their native language, let alone learn to understand Hebrew. Ruppin strives to break the poverty cycle among this immigrant population by providing an education for Ethiopian youth immigrants. This will allow them to integrate more easily into Israeli society as well as provide a hope and future for their families.
