For Jewish communities, coming home to the land of their forefathers is not only a deep longing in their hearts, but fulfilling scriptures that God desires to gather His people back into the land He had chosen for them.
The modern day ascent (Aliyah) of the Jewish Diaspora and return immigration to Israel is reminiscent of pilgrims ascending towards Jerusalem in ancient times as they gathered for their festivals, singing Songs of Ascent recorded in Psalms. The number of Jews from all over the world desiring to make Aliyah has gone up significantly since the pandemic started in 2020.
About Keren Hayesod & Operation Eagle’s Wings
Ezekiel 36:22 & 24 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. .. For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.”
As recorded in scripture, we believe the Lord will accomplish the work of Aliyah to uphold the holiness of His great name. At the same time, we are invited to actively participate in God’s plan.
Supporting Aliyah is one of Keren Hayesod’s key initiatives and plays a role in helping us to realise the visions of the prophets of Israel. To date, Keren Hayesod has brought over 3.5 million Olim (Jewish immigrants) back home from the four corners of the earth so that for the first time in 2000 years, Israel is home to the largest number of Jews in the world. Israel is once again the spiritual, cultural and population centre of the people of Israel.
In the past 15 years, Keren Hayesod-Friends of Israel in Asia has also collectively assisted more than 4,500 Olim to make their journey back to Israel. Keren Hayesod-Friends of Israel (Singapore) has embarked on Operation Eagle’s Wings, since 2020, to support the preparation and air transport for new immigrant Ethiopian Jews. Civil war in Ethiopia has also stepped up the great urgency for their Aliyah.
