PARTNERING WITH PURPOSE, ALL OVER THE WORLD.www.jewishagency.orgThe Jewish Agency is funded by The Jewish Federations of North America, Keren Hayesod, major Jewish communities and federations, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, foundations and donors from Israel and around the world.

From the airlifting of 14,310 Ethiopians to Israel in the span of 36 hours to arranging immediate aliyah � ights for Jews in war-torn Georgia to organizing clandestine missions to save Jews from virulently anti-Zionist countries, the Jewish Agency remains resolute in its promise to carry out bold rescue missions to help Jews whenever and wherever necessary.

For over 60 years, the Jewish Agency for Israel and its partners have kept an unwavering promise to the Jewish people: to bring any Jew, from anywhere in the world, to safety in Israel. Today, once again, there are Jews who fear for their safety. We must stand ready to act at any time.

Together, We Are the First Responders

Aliyah of Rescue In the not so distant past, it was thought that Jews around the world were safe. That rescue missions were no longer necessary. But as global events spiral from one crisis to another, anti-Zionists and anti-Semites have whipped into action. We have woken up to the reality that there are a number of places around the world where Jews who assumed that they could live their lives freely may now need to be rescued.

There are over 60,000 Jews living in countries where they are at risk. These countries have been, and will continue to be, in the news. But too much publicity can endanger Jewish lives. Thus, we must tread cautiously to ensure that we protect, and do not expose, the people in these communities in: • the volatile Middle East • regimes where democracy is unheard of • countries that have no diplomatic relations with Israel • regions in which anti-Jewish sentiment and racism are on the rise • republics that pledge the destruction of the State of Israel • countries in which the Jewish population is seriously threatened.

The Jewish Agency is the Jewish world’s � rst responder in times of crisis. Our special emissaries are working around the world to assist Jewish communities that live in fear. It is our mission to ensure that Jews everywhere know that the Jewish people are behind them. That we can keep our promise to bring them safely home to Israel and ensure their smooth integration into Israeli society.

On the ground in Israel, the Jewish Agency’s extensive absorption network stands ready at all times. Many of these new immigrants must leave their homes clandestinely. They arrive to Israel with severely limited resources and no personal property. The Jewish Agency is committed to:

• bringing these vulnerable Jews to safety in their historic homeland

• providing a supportive, sheltered � rst home during the di� cult transition period

• giving each new citizen the tools they need to achieve independence and acclimate to their new lives.
