Operation Life for Israel

Operation Life for Israel is our way of helping preserve the sanctity of life in Israel.  Through Operation Life for Israel we support victims of terror and help provide for the desperately needed emergency medical supplies, equipment, staff and ambulances in Israel.  Terrorism has taken a drastic toll on the State of Israel and the Jewish people.  The Jerusalem Connection is working in the Christian community in the US to raise support.  In hard times like these Christians must be there to help the people of Israel.

Operation Life for Israel also supports pro-life efforts in Israel.  In 1977 Israel passed a law to ensure a woman the right to a free or low-cost abortion.  Since then, elective abortion has become a widely accepted practice.  Israel??s yearly average of abortions is up to 50,000; that??s almost 1,000 a week.  One reason for Israel??s high abortion rate is because the pro-life movement has traditionally been very weak.  But that is changing.

The Jerusalem Connection??s pro-life partner organizations, are emerging as the primary and most forthright pro-life voices in Israel. 

These pro-life organizations have been assisting expectant and new mothers for over twenty-five years.  Their holistic approach in offering support to pregnant women is based on the belief that too often abortion seems like a woman??s only choice.  This may result from her socio-economic problems or because of a lack of information about abortion and its alternatives.  To combat these tragic tendencies, they have a variety of programs to provide women with the information they need to make informed decisions and to relieve the social and financial pressure pregnant women face.  Crisis pregnancy centers have been established all over the country where volunteer teams of doctors, psychologists, social workers, and rabbis are readily available to answer questions and provide counsel. 

Their efforts have seen thousands of women every year make informed decisions to have their babies despite financial and social stress.  For these mothers and their children, the organizations provide all their primary needs and a vital network of volunteers that provide social and moral support. 

Considering Israel??s demographic problems and the emphasis put on bringing Jews to Israel from abroad, it is critical not to forget the unborn Jewish children who are waiting to make their ??inner Aliya.??  Last year, this inner Aliya brought a larger number of Jews to Israel than the entire Aliya from North America. Saving a life is the greatest mitzvah?? therefore the work of ??Operation Life for Israel?? is sacred.  We ask that you consider joining The Jerusalem Connection in this wonderful ministry to save the lives of Jewish children.
