Semyon and Tatyana Zh from Irkutsk

Making aliyah for us is primarily an opportunity to reunite with our son and other close relatives, including a cousin and nephews, who had previously moved to the Holy Land.  We’ve long dreamed of living close to our children, and this year it all came together.

We learned about Ezra through our son, who had previously made aliyah. We are very grateful to the fund’s volunteers for their expert advice on genealogy and how to gather the necessary documents for visas. Before our trip to the consul in Moscow, the fund helped us with travel arrangements and getting our documents apostilled. They explained how to pack our luggage properly, gave us lots of valuable advice, and on the day of our flight, they took us to the airport, where they helped us check everything in and drop off our luggage. It’s wonderful to have such support before our flight!

The work of Ezra and its volunteers is beyond praise! Everything is excellent!  Without your help, it would have been more difficult for us to realize our dream of making aliyah to Israel.
