First Time to School in Israel
Praise Report & A chance to bless Ethiopian Jewish families

During this week’s much anticipated “First Time To School in Israel” project we hosted 330 children from Jewish-Ukrainian-Refugee families, as well as newly immigrated families; kids along with their parents.

With the new school year upon us, it was the perfect opportunity for us to bless these families and children in need with quality backpacks, school supplies, and textbook vouchers.

Additionally we organized a musical program, activities, games and fun dynamics for them that put a smile on their faces and made them excited about the upcoming school year, which for many of them will be their first time going to school in Israel.

The next phase of this project is to also extend this help to fellow Ethiopian olim (immigrants) that are also struggling to purchase school supplies for their kids. Since seeing how generously you helped us bless so many children, we felt it was only right to go ahead and extend another helping hand to Ethiopian Jewish immigrant families and their kids.
This is your opportunity to extend your blessing even farther and bless our dear Ethiopian Jewish families and kids through our First Time to School in Israel project, and help provide these children with much needed school supplies, backpacks and textbook vouchers — all for a gift of $100!

Give TODAY, and we can help make them start their new school year blessed!

The Unexpected Encounter That Gave Marina Hope

Marina* came to our Sukkot celebration carrying a fear she could do nothing about. Her son was in prison in Ukraine, badly wounded, and she did not know what would happen to him. She had no idea that among the people she would meet that day was someone whose own story would touch hers in […]

The Work He Left In Our Hands —
Galilee Evangelism Campaign

Here in Israel, many people can know the names of biblical places and the stories connected with them — and still know very little about who Yeshua really is. For many of the new Jewish immigrants we meet, Israel itself is also new. They are building a life in a new country, discovering the land, […]

“Please Don’t Wait Too Long” —
Holocaust Survivors Project Report

Some of the Holocaust survivors who walked into our gathering in Ashdod already knew us. Others did not. We could see the hesitation on a few faces, and we understood it. They had been invited into a room with people they barely knew — and we were wondering how they would respond when we spoke […]

Inside the Sukkah:
Remembering the God Who Provides

One of the things I love about Sukkot is how many simple reminders of God’s faithfulness surround us during this Feast. We build the sukkah, we sit beneath its branches, we share meals together as families, and we remember something our people have needed to remember for thousands of years: everything we have ultimately comes […]

Hebrew Word of the Week:
Adonai Uzzi (יְהוָה עֻזִּי) —
The LORD Is My Strength

We all become tired sometimes, and I don’t mean only physically. There is another kind of tiredness that comes when you have been carrying something for a long time. You have prayed, you have tried to make the right decisions, you have kept going, but the situation has still not changed. After some time, you […]

“Don’t Forget Us. Come Again” —
Holocaust Survivors Praise Report

The Moroccan food was a hit. We had brought it from Ashdod for a gathering with Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem, and before long people around the tables were asking about our city. What is Ashdod like? Could they come visit sometime? We loved that. Somewhere between passing plates, talking across the table and getting to […]
