January 2024 Update

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The situation in Ukraine is catastrophically deteriorating. Money in the budget of Ukraine is running out, there is money for pensioners only for another 2 months. Nobody knows what will happen next. The forecasts are disappointing.

In this war, millions of Ukrainians became victims, and one can only guess how many of them will never return to normal life. Therefore, people are desperately looking for an opportunity to find at least some alternative. And warring Israel is the best alternative for our olim.

Unfortunately, the conditions for traveling to Israel have become stricter.

• Firstly, Israel accepts only those olim who have relatives in Israel, ready to host them. This is due to the fact that in Israel there are now 300 thousand temporarily displaced people from the north and south of Israel, where the fighting is taking place. All these people are accommodated in hotels at the expense of the State of Israel, so Israel now has no resources for accommodating new olim.
• Secondly, the rules for preparing documents for the Israeli Embassy have become more stringent. Mandatory certification is required for all documents through the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, which means additional time, and most importantly, additional money.

That’s why your help was very helpful.  All 8 people who received your help are going to their relatives in Israel. May God help them!

With love,
Igor, Tatiana
