Read MoreAbout Ezra
The work of Ezra International began in 1995 in Ukraine in direct response to a vision God gave American businessman, Mel Hoelzle. The Jewish people had been free to leave the Soviet Union after its collapse in 1991 but many were held back to a wall of poverty – not having the money to pay for their trips to the Israeli Consul or their foreign passports. Ezra started work in Ukraine, but the work has since expanded to 8 other fSU countries, South America and several countries in Europe.

We will not be able to work like young people, it will be difficult for us to adapt to new living conditions...
You are like Angels
We are making aliyah because we want to change our lives! When the full-scale war began, I went to defend Ukraine. I had to be in the hottest battles. Now it is still hard for me to remember my combat experience, because it is too much of a burden on the psyche. The circumstances that a soldier goes through on the front lines are sometimes simply unbearable! I miraculously managed to avoid death several times! Thanks to the Almighty, I emerged from combat clashes alive many times! But...

I'm running away from the war. I can't stand all the horror that's happening anymore!
Our city, Zaporozhe, suffers greatly from enemy shelling. Lately, their terrible bombs, called KAB-500, have been flying towards us. These are large-range aerial bombs, and the Russians say that they are guided. We do not understand where they are directing this terrible weapon of death...
