ICEJ Year in Review: Aliyah and Integration

ICEJ Year in Review: Aliyah and Integration

This year, the ICEJ AID Department focused on projects in three categories: Aliyah & Integration, Israel in Crisis, and a Future and a Hope. This campaign brought support, funding, care, and prayer to hundreds of people and dozens of communities throughout Israel as the ICEJ funded 726 Aliyah flights, 16 new bomb shelters, 473 computer kits, 250,000 food parcels, and 105 tons of humanitarian equipment in 2025 while investing in Gaza Envelope rebuilding projects, serving and standing with the kibbutzim most deeply damaged by October 7. The ICEJ sponsored a Greenhouse and four classrooms at the Agro-Tech School in Sde Nitzan, an Animal Corner at the Kibbutz Urim Animal Therapy Farm, a kindergarten and music therapy center in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, and a youth activity center and Ne’ot Be’eri elderly care center in Kibbutz Be’eri.
