Since 7 October, we have witnessed a steady rise in Aliyah from across Europe. In recent months, as antisemitism has become increasingly widespread, violent, and even institutionalised, more and more European Jews are turning their eyes towards Israel – seeing Aliyah as both a lifeline and a calling.
Shivat Zion is the only dedicated and officially recognised Aliyah charity serving Europe. Every day, we receive an increasing number of requests for guidance, support, and practical assistance.
By joining this vital effort, you can help Olim on their journey home.
Every pound, euro, shekel, or dollar truly makes a difference – shaping the help we can provide in 2026 and transforming lives through the most important journey of all: coming home to Israel.
In 2025, up to November, Shivat Zion has already handled 517 complex cases, 4,914 help requests and 344 personal meetings with Olim – a 30 per cent increase with two months still remaining.
In 2024, we assisted 577 complex cases and 4,749 regular requests, a 23 per cent rise compared with 2023.
