Israel is currently fighting a war for her very survival as a Jewish State.
As this is being written Israel's borders are in jeopardy due to the
demographic threat of being out numbered. The Arab birthrate is about double
the Jewish birth rate of 2.3. It is forecasted that the Arabs will be the
majority in Israel by the year 2020, less than fifteen years from now.
Israel has lost more than one and a half million Jewish children to abortion
since 1948. In a country of about 5.5 million Jews this number has great
demographic significance. Imagine how much stronger Israel would have been
today with one million more Jews. Imagine if we could create an "Inner
Aliyah" of 10 to 15 thousand Jews a year. At a cost of just $1,200 per
"Oleh" Efrat is a bargain compared to other Aliyah projects. And the
Israeli government wouldn't even have to pay for housing or airfare as the
potential Olim are already in Israel just waiting to be born!
Good for the Mothers too.
Many women who undergo an abortion later in life regret their decision.
Many of these women suffer feelings of guilt, depression, or suffer physical
problems due to the abortions such as difficulty getting pregnant again.
Some of these women, when they look back on their lives, wished that they
had chosen to have that child. In great contrast to that, not one of the
over 25,000 mothers Efrat has helped over the years regretted her decision
to have her child once she sees her son or daughter. On the contrary, she
is very happy with her choice and her child.
Not only Efrat directly strengthens both Israel and the Jewish People
demographically but it is also spares many women of having to go through a
most unpleasant procedure which is often regretted later in life, and gives
them the joy of having their own child instead!
