This afternoon, the Interior Ministry abruptly slammed the brakes on the travel plans of many students. In recent days, the Ministry released a program for institutions to obtain entry permits to enter Israel. Many have already applied for, and received, these permits.
Chaim V’Chessed has learned that, effective immediately, entry permits will cease to be issued to single students. More troubling, permits already issued to single students are now voided, and if students arrive in Israel with them, they will be denied entry. Our information is that only students already airborne at this moment will be allowed to enter Israel.
Sources claim that this sudden change is due to the spike in Corona cases in recent days. Ministry officials have not confirmed that this is accurate.
Married students and their families can still receive entry permits at this time.

Hi (NAME) How you doing? I’m helping out with a campaign for an organization here in Israel that really means a lot to me, I’ve actually been helped personally by this organization – when (INSERT PERSONAL STORY?!) which is why I agreed to help them raise funds so they continue their important work. The organization is called Chaim V’Chessed. Maybe you’ve heard of them. They help English-speakers in Israel, whether tourists or residents, to navigate all kinds of challenges and crises. They help with travel, medical, educational and bureaucratic crises. They are literally lifesavers. You can imagine how busy they have been since the war broke out, and how many crises they have been helping with. Here’s a short video to give you an idea of what they’ve been doing. If you are able to support them, it would mean so much to me!! I know there really are a lot of great causes out there, but if you can help me out with this cause, I’d really appreciate. Here’s the link to my page. Thank you, thank you!!!
