For many of our residents, life has been filled with hardship and loss, but this salon offers something simple yet powerful: the chance to feel refreshed, valued and uplifted.

As the ICEJ continues to expand its outreach, events like the Estonia youth gathering are crucial in shaping the next generation of madrichim—young leaders who will guide others in Jewish identity and possibly toward the path of Aliyah.
Last year, the ICEJ assisted 3,653 Jews in their Aliyah and Integration process in Israel, which was 11.3% of the total immigration figures for 2024. That brings our cumulative total to 188,977 Jews assisted with Aliyah since the Christian Embassy’s founding in 1980.
