For many Ethiopian and Eritrean Christian elders, visiting Jerusalem is more than a trip, it is a spiritual dream rooted in centuries of faith and devotion, and sadly it remains out of reach for many because of financial limitations

AJET Israel, in collaboration with St. John and St. Arsema Monastery in California, is proud to launch a Free Pilgrimage Program for Elders, offering fully sponsored trips to the Holy Land for deserving elders from Ethiopia

Please note

Due to current visa restrictions for Eritrean passport holders to enter Israel, we are unable to include Eritrean elders at this time, and we hope to expand this opportunity as soon as the policy changes

In Her Own Words

A Traveler's Words

"...አብሮ አደጌ ጎረቤቴን ጥያት ስለምጣሁ ብቻ አዝኛለሁ። እሷ እንደኔ የሚከፍልላት ልጅ ስለሌላት አልመጣችም እንጂ ፤ እየሩሳሌምን መሳለም ስንመኝ ነው ያረጀነው።"
