Fortifying Israel Through Aliyah and Absorption

 FORTIFYING ISRAEL THROUGH ALIYAH AND ABSORPTION

THE NEED

Immigrants are Israel's lifeblood!  Yet, aliyah, with its accompanying need to adapt to a different society,

learn a new language, adjust to a new culture, find employment, and locate a place to live, is a major challenge.  When coupled with acute cultural, educational, and economic gaps, such as those experienced by immigrants from Ethiopia and other countries of distress, the result can be severe crisis. Elderly immigrants, too, who lack a support system of family and friends, and young olim who came to Israel on their own are in need of special support. 

 

 

KEREN HAYESOD’S RESPONSE


Investment in aliyah and absorption is crucial for Israel, as the most effective way of ensuring a Jewish majority.  Keren Hayesod is committed to ensuring that any Jew, for any reason,can make Israel 

his/her home Together with the Jewish Agency, Keren Hayesod monitors the global situation to rescue Jews from threatened communities, while supporting activities that promote and facilitate aliyah by choice. Successful absorption strengthens both the immigrants and society as a whole. Keren Hayesod supports a variety of programs that ease the transition for newcomers and empower high-risk immigrant populations by providing them with the tools to successfully integrate into Israel.
