Back Home In The Holy Land
 |
The Perpignal family is comprised of Alberto 43 years old, his wife Silvia 41 and their four children ranging in age from 17 to 6 years old. This beautiful family made aliyah for the first time in 2002 and were living in the city of Kiriat Bialik, in northern Israel, very close to Haifa. When the war in Lebanon started in 2006 it became difficult to stay in their home because they were living quite close to where the fighting was taking place.
They decided to go back to Argentina but after arriving back in the country it did not
take them long to realize they would not be able to take care of their family.They realized that moving back to Argentina was a mistake but did not have the means to return to Israel. After being told that perhaps an organization called Ezra International might be able to help, they wrote one of our representatives explaining their situation. After almost two years of working with this family, getting all their papers in order, and their visas and passports ready, they were finally able to return to Israel in April, 2008.
We had the privilege to be able to visit with them at their apartment in Kiriat Bialik after their return. The family is very happy being back in Israel.
This story with a happy ending could not have happened if it were not for you and other partners who are standing with the Jewish people through Ezra International.
