Let's End the Exile of This Lost Tribe of Israel
Israel's government has approved a five-year plan to bring home the remaining Bnei Menashe Jews from northeast India. The ICEJ has sponsored flights for more than one-third of the community since 2012 — help us finish the job.
The Bnei Menashe are Jews from India's northeast region tracing ancestry to the ancient Israelite tribe of Manasseh — carrying 2,700 years of exile. Israel's Chief Rabbinate officially recognized them as Israelite descendants in 2005, and over 4,500 have already immigrated. Approximately 5,800 remain.
Israel's cabinet has approved a plan to bring 1,200 home by end-2026 and the remaining 4,600 by 2030. The ICEJ has sponsored flights for more than one-third of those who have immigrated since 2012. Those still in Manipur face severe ethnic violence and displacement. The estimated cost per person is $2,180 — covering preparation, flights, and absorption in Israel.
