Recently, For Zion's Sake Ministry reported on how Israel was very much involved in helping the people of Ukraine leave their country in a time of war. We desire to update our reporting by showing that Israel is still very much involved.
Our source for this update is a Ministry called Bridges For Peace whose purpose is to help Jewish people who have moved to Israel get adjusted to their new home. Bridges For Peace has been on the ground in Ukraine from the very beginning rescuing Ukrainian Jews plus others and flying them to Israel.
Here is the updated story! Approximately, 20,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived safely in Israel. An average of 251 arrive daily, with over 36,000 waiting to board a plane to Israel. Before the war in the Ukraine, 30,000 immigrants would arrive each year.
Israeli Government Agencies and Charities are overwhelmed with the need of establishing these new immigrants into Israeli society. Initially, they are housed in a Government sponsored hotel but that only lasts for two weeks. Almost all of them are senior citizens or mothers with young children. The majority of the Ukrainian men have to stay to fight the war.
The Israeli Government provides some financial assistance for one year. Then the immigrants must find a job or receive financial help from a Ministry like Bridges For Peace. Currently, there are 800 refugees in hotels and 1,500 are expected to arrive very soon.
Bridges For Peace has an Adoption Program in which a person can sponsor a new immigrant for one year. Bridges For Peace provides food, a transportation pass for busses and trains, gifts on holidays, meets urgent needs and provides lots of love and advice. The Sponsor learns all about their adoptee and can even correspond with them.
If you are interested in becoming a Sponsor, please check their website at www.bridgesforpeace.com or you can telephone the International Headquarters 972 2-624-5004.
Jehovah God says in Genesis 12:3 "I Will Bless Those Who Bless Israel."
