ICEJ launches RESCUE 250 campaign
This week the ICEJ sponsored two more Aliyah flights from Russian-speaking countries, bringing another 66 Jewish immigrants home to Israel. We have now brought well over 1000 Jews to Israel on ‘evacuation flights’ over the past four months of the Corona crisis. And to build on this remarkable achievement, we are now calling on our Christian friends and supporters worldwide to join us in helping more Jews reach Israel safely through our “Rescue250” campaign.
The Rescue250 campaign is a challenge to Christian supporters of Israel around the globe to partner with the ICEJ is keeping up our current pace of flying at least 250 Jews per month home to Israel while the Coronavirus pandemic is still severely impacting the world. This is both a prophetic mandate and a humanitarian mission, and we welcome your involvement in making this miracle happen. Learn more on how you can be a part of this urgent campaign at our Rescue250 central at: on.icej.org/rescue250
Each arriving family of late has their own inspiring story on how they came to make the move to Israel. One family which landed at Ben-Gurion Airport on Tuesday this week included a seven year-old child in need of life-saving cancer treatments in Israel – and we will have more on that very touching story soon.
Meantime, the Veksler family just arrived from the far eastern part of Russia after spending years longing to come to Israel. But when they finally got ready for the big move, Corona hit, and what happened from there is very typical of the Jewish families we are helping right now.
Vitaly Veksler and his wife Valentine have three beautiful daughters – Sarah, Emma and Vita. They are from Khabarovsk, a city way over near Japan. Vitaly also has a sister, Svetlana, and young niece, Elizabeth, who lived in Vladivostok, also in the Russian Far East. The whole extended family of seven people decided last year to make Aliyah together, and originally planned to fly to Israel in May. But because of Corona, their flight was cancelled and they were left in limbo.
However, thanks to the determined efforts of Israeli and Jewish Agency officials, the chance arose for them to get on board a rescue flight, sponsored by the Christian Embassy.
“We are very grateful for this, and that on June 30 we will already be in Israel,” Vitaly assured.
“From my childhood, I knew about my Jewish roots and I was proud to be a part of a great nation,” he explained. “I thought about Aliyah for a very long time, but there was always something stopping me – either work or another child or building a house. But thoughts about Israel were always in my mind, and I searched a lot of information about Aliyah.”
Vitaly credits the Jewish Agency office in his hometown of Khabarovsk with playing a big role in the Aliyah of his family. “We got a lot of consultations there, participated in seminars, met online with people living in Israel,” he said.
Still, he has moved his family to a country that is completely new to them.
“The first two weeks in Israel we will be in quarantine,” Viltaly noted. “We have never been to Israel before, but after quarantine we really want to see the country and then hopefully settle down in Rehovot.”
There are many other Jewish families, like the Vekslers, who had planned to move to Israel over recent months, and even quit their jobs and cancelled their apartment leases already, but due to Corona they are stranded without home or finances.
In addition, the COVID-19 threat, along with rising antisemitism, has actually increased interest in making Aliyah among Jewish communities worldwide.
So Israel and the Jewish Agency are arranging “evacuation flights” to bring new immigrants approved for Aliyah, and is turning to the ICEJ for help with funding these flights. Priority is being given to those facing urgent health concerns, rising antisemitism, and poor socio-economic conditions.
The ICEJ flew 1,000 Jewish immigrants home to Israel between February and June, which is a remarkable rate of 250 olim (newcomers) per month during the Corona crisis. We are now challenging our friends and supporters to help us maintain that pace in the critical months ahead, when Aliyah is expected to increase.
So help us bring at least 250 Jews on Aliyah “rescue flights” to Israel in the coming month. Join us today at: on.icej.org/rescue250
And follow our progress in this urgent Aliyah campaign at the same Rescue250 central!

ICEJ 发起 RESCUE 250 运动
本周，ICEJ 赞助了另外两个来自俄语国家的 Aliyah 航班，将另外 66 名犹太移民带回了以色列。在Corona 危机的过去四个月中，我们现在已经通过“撤离航班”将 1000多名犹太人带到了以色列。为了取得这一非凡成就，我们现在呼吁全世界的基督徒朋友和支持者加入我们，通过“ Rescue 250”运动帮助更多的犹太人安全地到达以色列。
Rescue 250 运动是对全球以色列基督教支持者的挑战，与 ICEJ 的合作将保持我们目前每月至少有250名犹太人回以色列的步伐，而冠状病毒大流行仍在严重影响世界。这既是先知的任务，又是人道主义的使命，我们欢迎您参与实现这一奇迹。在我们的 Rescue 250 中心了解更多关于如何参与紧急活动的信息：on.icej.org/rescue250
每个近来的家庭都有自己的鼓舞人心的故事，讲述他们是如何走向以色列的。本周二在本古里安机场降落的一个家庭中，有一个 7 岁的孩子需要在以色列进行挽救生命的癌症治疗-我们将在这个非常动人的故事中找到更多信息。
同时，Veksler 家族在花了多年渴望来到以色列后才从俄罗斯远东来到这里。但是，当他们终于为这一大动作做好准备时，冠状病毒受到了打击，那里发生的事情是我们现在正在帮助的非常典型的犹太家庭。
维塔利·维克斯勒（Vitaly Veksler）和他的妻子瓦伦丁（Valentine）育有三个漂亮的女儿-莎拉（Sarah），艾玛（Emma）和维塔（Vita）。他们来自日本附近城市哈巴罗夫斯克。维塔利（Vitaly）还有一个姐姐斯维特拉娜（Svetlana）和外女伊丽莎白（Elizabeth），他们住在俄罗斯远东的符拉迪沃斯托克（Vladivostok）。整个7人大家庭于去年决定将Aliyah聚在一起，最初计划于5月飞往以色列。但是由于电晕，他们的飞行被取消，他们陷入了困境。
但是，由于以色列和犹太机构官员的坚定努力，他们有机会登上由基督教大使馆赞助的救援航班。
Vitaly保证：“我们对此深表谢意，并且将于6月30日到达以色列。”
他解释说：“从我的童年时代起，我就知道我的犹太血统，我为成为一个伟大国家的一部分而感到自豪。” “我想了很长时间的Aliyah，但总有一些事情阻止我-工作，生另一个孩子或盖房子。但是关于以色列的想法始终在我的脑海中，我搜索了许多有关阿里亚的信息。”
维塔利（Vitaly）归功于他家乡哈巴罗夫斯克（Khabarovsk）的犹太机构办公室在他家人的阿里亚（Aliyah）中发挥了重要作用。他说：“我们在那里进行了很多磋商，参加了研讨会，并在网上与居住在以色列的人会面。”
尽管如此，他还是将家人搬到了一个陌生的国家。
维尔塔利指出：“在以色列的头两周，我们将进行隔离。” “我们以前从未去过以色列，但是隔离后，我们真的很想见该国，然后希望在雷霍沃特定居。”
还有许多其他犹太家庭，例如Vekslers，他们计划在最近几个月内移居以色列，甚至已经辞职并取消了他们的公寓租约，但是由于科罗纳，他们被困在没有住房或财务的情况下。
此外，COVID-19 威胁以及反犹太主义的抬头，实际上已使人们对在世界各地的犹太社区中使用 Aliyah 产生了兴趣。
因此，以色列和犹太机构正在安排“撤离航班”，以带动被批准前往阿里亚赫的新移民，并正在寻求国际ICEJ 的资助，为这些航班提供资金。那些面临紧急健康问题，反犹太主义加剧和社会经济条件恶劣的人们将获得优先考虑。
ICEJ在2月到6月之间有1000名犹太移民飞回以色列，这在电晕危机期间每月有250 olim（新移民）。我们现在正在挑战我们的朋友和支持者，以帮助我们在未来关键月份（预计Aliyah将会增加）保持这一步伐。
因此，请帮助我们在下个月将至少 250 名犹太人带到Aliyah的“救援飞行”中，飞往以色列。立即加入我们：on.icej.org/rescue250
并跟随我们在同一Rescue250中心的紧急Aliyah运动中取得的进展！
