Fellowship Olim Visit the Western Wall“146 olim (immigrants) who arrived in Israel on Fellowship Freedom Flights were taken to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.”A Fellowship staff member in Israel wrote to tell us about a wonderful event that happened earlier this week. Last week, 146 olim (immigrants) who arrived in Israel on Fellowship Freedom Flights were taken to the Western Wall as the culmination of their Fellowship Absorption Seminar. Upon their arrival, they were brought to a private area at the rear of the Western Wall Plaza, where they were greeted on behalf of Rabbi Eckstein by Rabbi Moshe Lefkowitz, director general of Afikim,The Fellowship's partner organization. Rabbi Lefkowitz gave a beautiful, moving address welcoming the new immigrants to Israel. A portion of his address is below:
The group then went on to sing together Psalm 126, which begins with the unforgettable words, “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.” Thank you for helping these Jewish immigrants – and so many others – realize their dreams of living in their biblical homeland, and for making moments like this possible! When you support The Fellowship’s On Wings of Eagles ministry, your gift helps fulfill biblical prophecy, as foretold in the book of Isaiah: “I will beckon to the Gentiles … they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders” (Isaiah 49:22). Let’s bring more people to their biblical homeland!
