The Incredible Story of Ethiopian Jews and Their Journey to Israel
This year, around 1,500 Ethiopian Jews are expected to immigrate to Israel, many with the help of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). Our next sponsored flight of Ethiopian Jews is scheduled for 30 March, and we will be there to welcome them to the Promised Land on your behalf.
These new Ethiopian immigrants will be reunited with family members they have not seen in a long time, some for over two decades. “Sadly, in many cases brothers, sisters, even parents and children have been separated for years”, Danielle Mor of the Jewish Agency recently explained.
For over two millennia, Ethiopian Jews, known as Beta Israel, have faced immense challenges including religious persecution, discrimination, oppression, and violence. Despite these hardships, they have maintained their Jewish identity and community.
According to Ethiopian tradition, the Queen of Sheba’s son Menelik was born in Ethiopia. He later visited his father King Solomon in Jerusalem, who told him to spread the Jewish faith in God to the Ethiopians. King Solomon gave Menelik a Torah scroll to teach the Ethiopian people about Biblical Judaism.
Help us make dreams a reality for the remaining Ethiopian Jews waiting to make Aliyah! You can be a part of bringing them home and planting them in the Land of Israel. The next flight is only weeks away! Make your best gift today to support the ICEJ’s Aliyah efforts.

EQUIP, your personal journey to the Kingdom by Peter Tsukahira
Take up the challenge of discipleship described in the book EQUIP by Peter Tsukahira.
This book is a series of 52 short teachings meant to equip men and women as disciples of God’s kingdom in our day. Each teaching is accompanied by several questions for reflection or discussion and a point for prayer. The sections in EQUIP link Israel with the kingdom of God and Jesus’ call to make disciples of all the nations.
May God use this book as a resource to “make ready a people prepared for the Lord” (Luke 1:17).
