The work of Ezra International began in 1995 in Ukraine in direct response to a vision God gave American businessman, Mel Hoelzle.

A Delicate Thread of Root
Daniil’s connection to his Jewish heritage once seemed almost intangible; he knew he had Jewish ancestry through his paternal great-grandmother, but that family link felt distant and faint. Years passed, and he had long since lost touch with his father’s side of the family...
