The transition of starting over for most new immigrants to Israel is very challenging. Many become discouraged by the lack of work, insufficient language skills, and a myriad of cultural hurdles. Their joyful return to the Promised Land often turns to rejection, fear, and loneliness.
New immigrants are arriving in Israel by the thousands every month, most with only the clothes in their suitcases.
Over 1 million immigrants have returned from the former Soviet Union since 1988.
Many new immigrants leave Israel permanently, saying it is too difficult to survive because of economic hardships and the threat of terror.
For Zion's Sake Ministries is a non-profit humanitarian aid organization, reaching out to new immigrants and other Israelis to meet their urgent needs. For Zion's Sake provides humanitarian assistance such as furniture, clothing, food coupons, and medicine from our warehouse distribution center in Jerusalem.
For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace…Isaiah 62:1
