Read MoreAbout Ezra
The work of Ezra International began in 1995 in Ukraine in direct response to a vision God gave American businessman, Mel Hoelzle. The Jewish people had been free to leave the Soviet Union after its collapse in 1991 but many were held back to a wall of poverty – not having the money to pay for their trips to the Israeli Consul or their foreign passports. Ezra started work in Ukraine, but the work has since expanded to 8 other fSU countries, South America and several countries in Europe.
Costs
It costs an average of £360 to help one Jewish person home to Israel. A monthly gift of £30.00 will help one person home over one year. However no gift is too small - or too large!! All your donations help in the process of helping Jewish people home and each one is significant. Thank you for your help.

Life into Two Cases
Israel was always in our heart, but life is not always what you dream for…that took us a long time for different reasons to come to this day and make Aliyah now, this year. One of the main reasons for us to move there is our health condition…especially my husband’s health...
