Justice for family of the Righteous among the nations

Thank you for reading my GoFundMe.

I am Ellen and grandchild of Frederik Jan Kerkhof. He and his parents were awarded the Yad Vashem medal in 1998 for hiding Jews in their home during WWll.

Because of this award, Israel invited him and his descendants to settle in Israel. Israel recently changed this law, undoing the invitation for the grandchildren of Righteous Among the Nations. They have set the age limit for grandchildren at minor (>18 years).

The chances of a 1940-1945 hero having grandchildren younger than 18 are nil. This negates the invitation to grandchildren to settle in Israel.

I want to revolt against this injustice and disrespect and file a lawsuit in the Israeli courts.

First the Righteous are honoured and now that they have died, suddenly the invitation to grandchildren is withdrawn.

It is war in Israel again. And anti-Semitism is rearing its head again. Therefore, like my grandfather, I want to stand up and help where I can. I helped where I could this year with four tourist visas, but entry into Israel to settle has been closed due to the new law change. I submitted my application to the immigration and population ministry, but it was rejected twice because I am not a minor.

The legal procedure will cost at least 16,000 dollar/60,000 shillings. I am already blessed with almost half the amout.

Please stand up with me to win this courtcase and open up the door for the 2nd generation of the Righteous Among the Nations and show friendship and love to the people of Israel. (Isajah 40)
