YOU ARE DEMONSTRATING GOD’S LOVE TO ISRAEL’S PEOPLE

Attacks on Jewish synagogues—as well as Jewish holy sites and gravestones being vandalized with Nazi swastikas—reveal that anti-Semitism is sadly a regular occurrence. With global sentiment against Israel growing, Christians continue to support the nation and people of Israel.

Faithful partners like you are providing food, shelter, and other essentials to Jewish immigrants and Holocaust survivors through CBN Israel.

The Story Of Sergey

The war with Ukraine changed life dramatically for one Jewish family living in Russia.

“We knew we had to leave,” said Sergey.

Because Sergey is Jewish, he decided to move his family to Israel. When they got there, they faced some challenges. “We hardly had any furniture and didn’t even have a washing machine. We wanted to make our kids’ living area comfortable, but we couldn’t afford it,” he said.

With your support, CBN Israel helped to provide the family with furniture, a washing machine, and groceries. “CBN Israel came along and gave us hope that everything will work out,” explained his wife, Ludmila. Sergey said, “It is very touching to know there are people who care so much about families like ours.”

The Story Of Anna

Anna is a single mother who was living with her son in eastern Ukraine when the war broke out. “We had to hide in the basement,” she said. “When you look at your child hugging his toy and asking when the war will be over, you know you have to do something.”

A rescue train organized by their Jewish community took them to western Ukraine. From there, the Israeli government was allowing Jewish refugees to immediately make Aliyah and return to their ancestral homeland as immigrants. When they finally made it to Israel, a government grant allowed them to rent an apartment, but Anna couldn’t afford a refrigerator. So, CBN Israel stepped in.

“We really needed one, and you got it for us quickly,” said Anna. “It was a big relief, and we are very thankful.”

Anna has started working part time, and CBN Israel continues to visit her and her son regularly to see how they’re doing.

The Story Of Sofi

Sofi also knows the horrors of war all too well. She was born the day WWII started. Her father was a Red Army naval officer in Latvia. When he went to war, Sofi’s mother was taken prisoner, and the Nazis took the children to Germany.

“I was taken to an orphanage,” Sofi recalled, where “the Nazis conducted experiments on us.”

When the war ended, Sofi was reunited with her mother, but it took years to find her brother and sister, who had made it to Israel. She and her mother immigrated to Israel in 1972. Sofi married, had kids, and enjoyed life. Yet as she got older, things changed. Her husband became paralyzed and now lives in a special care facility. She gets lonely living by herself and has trouble walking, so it is hard to leave her apartment.

But friends like you offered a lifeline. “You bring groceries, and you never forget to call me on my birthday,” Sofi said. “I’m so happy you still remember us. It’s great to know you care.”
