Help Jews Home
Is a Norwegian initiative and a unique project aimed at helping Israel receive new immigrants from around the world.

Why?
Because Norwegians have always supported Israel.
o Because the struggle for the Jews in USSR has been intense within the political and legal areas of Norwegian society. We must help them before it's too late - again.
Because the battle against anti-semittism which has blossomed after the fall of the USSR is a battle which affects us all. There is a ghost passing through Europe.
Because the Jews deserve help after more than 70 years of communist oppression.
To spread information and help Israel with practical measures for all immigrants.

How?
Christians and Jews have for the first time united in a direct collaboration. 11 organizations and denominations have raised more than USD$ 6 million.
This has been accomplished with the help of brochures, flyers, video productions, almanacs, radio spots, and nation wide presentation/lecture campaigns.
The funds are channeled through well established Israeli organizations.
