Huge influx of French Jews expected to come home to Israel

Help French Jews Make Aliyah

Donate

The Jewish Agency has asked the Christian Embassy to assist with funding for the huge influx of French Jews expected to come home to Israel this year. Nearly half of the 550,000 Jews in France escaped there from North Africa several generations ago, and many still live in poorer neighborhoods alongside Muslim immigrants. They are the most vulnerable Jews at present and the least able to afford the expenses of moving to another country.

The ICEJ will be funding Aliyah seminars, ground transport, flight tickets, absorption costs, and other expenses involved in the immigration process. The Jewish Agency has estimated that the average cost for those who need assistance is $1,100 per person.
