From the Four Corners of the Earth – Part 2

Fear not for I am with you; from the east I will bring your seed, and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, “Give,” and to the south, “Do not refrain”; bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the end of the earth.” Isaiah 43:5-6

“The guardian of traditions in our family was the grandmother on the father’s side. Her house always smelled like food. I remember how we gathered as a big family and celebrated all the Jewish holidays” – says Anna. “My grandmother dreamt of living in Israel and five years ago, before she passed away, she blessed our move. It was very important for me to receive her blessing”.

“We have been filled with a lot of warmth and love from the first day of our arrival here, and we are grateful for everyone”

“We are happy that we have chosen this program. We have been filled with a lot of warmth and love from the first day of our arrival here, and we are grateful for everyone. As far as learning the Hebrew language goes, we know that it will be difficult, and we will have to pass many exams and learn a lot, but we believe that we will succeed”- says Yuri.

We hope to welcome more Jews in the near future to their new Home in the Home Land. Thanks to the practical help of Christians for Israel, for many olim this dream will come true.
