ICEJ Delivers Passover Gifts to Israeli Families in Need
ICEJ gave Pesach gift baskets to 800 needy Israeli families celebrating Passover in Israel recently.
Aliyah (a Hebrew word that means to “go up”) today, has come to mean the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel, their ancestral homeland. Simply stated, it is the ingathering of the exiles from the four corners of the earth. Aliyah “is rooted in the Jewish people’s fervent hope to rebuild its national life in the country from which it was exiled nearly 2,000 years ago.”
We’re partnering with the God of Israel who promised through the prophet Jeremiah, “For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I bring them back to this land; I will build them and not tear them down, and I will plant them and not uproot them.”(Jeremiah 24:6). We help establish immigrants in the land by assisting with basic household items, providing vocational training, and mentoring towards employment.
In Jeremiah 32:41, the Lord says, “Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart, and with all My soul.”

In Tel Aviv, many wounded women live in a parallel world of brothels and drug dealers. The ICEJ appreciates the opportunity to sponsor this centre as a beacon of hope for broken women in Israel.
