ICEJ Helping Young Ethiopian Jewish Immigrants
ICEJ attended the graduation of 15 Ethiopian immigrant students. Ethiopian olim have been a large focus of our Aliyah efforts, and we are delighted to give more opportunities to these young people.
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.”

Though this war with Hamas has triggered waves of antisemitism worldwide, it also is generating a surge of interest in Aliyah and Israelis joining the IDF. Another wave of Jews from around the world are preparing to come home to Israel.
Many Ethiopian immigrants arrived in Israel only six months before the terrible events of October 7. ICEJ aid and aliyah programs are still very much active despite the increased risks of the war.
