My name is Bruno, I am from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Aliyah for me means to ascend spiritually and also personal evolution. I aim to do become a Rabbi.

The difficulties in making aliyah are leaving family, friends and memories, but I have had problems with anti-Semitism here and my hopes are for spiritual growth, finding a job and experiencing Judaism.

I heard about Ezra’s work through the Jewish Agency. Ezra helped me to cover bureaucratic costs. I thank the staff of Ezra for accepting me, as I am unemployed, and I really needed this help.
