Successful Campaign Ends to Aid Ethiopian Olim

A $9 million campaign by our Federation and the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) has transformed the lives of 3,170 Ethiopian olim (immigrants to Israel) over the past two years and has provided essential food and medicine to thousands in Gondar and Addis Ababa. JFNA launched this campaign in June 2022 after the Israeli government announced Operation Tzur Israel II (Rock of Israel II) to help more Ethiopians realize their dreams of emigrating to Israel. The campaign continued through civil war and violent clashes in Ethiopia, supporting men, women and children on their courageous journeys to our Jewish homeland and providing vital services to those who remained. Throughout the decades, more than 100,000 Ethiopians have made aliyah with the support of our Federation and our counterparts.
