Aliyah Return Center (ARC) is an Israel based registered non-profit organization,
helping Jewish new immigrants establish roots in the land of Israel and thrive.
We are a Bible-believing, prophecy-fulfilling, non-proselytizing,
ministry built on a foundation of love in uncompromising faith.
One dark night ,at age 15, Chaim Malespin (CoFounder/Director of Operation at the ARC), holding tightly to ancient prophecies, made Aliyah with his family, he didn’t realize then that he was part of the process of “Israel’s restoration.”
Chaim’s own Aliyah journey gave him insight into the hardest thing for the millions of Jewish people who relocate to the Land of Promise – Absorption. What does “Making Aliyah” really means ? What happens when you step off the plane?
You need to find a job, a place to live, learn Hebrew, connect to a community, etc.
Integrating into a new society requires the determination of a pioneer.
Integration, attachment, acculturation, is hard, but loneliness can be a real issue as the first steps are taken in a new land.

But Chaim learned, to his surprise, that God has specifically, throughout the bible, called the nations to facilitate the restoration of the Land!
Three decades ago, Dean Bye, Chaim’s father in law and founder of Return Ministries, read Romans 11:11 on the license plate of the car in front of him. For the first time, he realized that God was calling him, a Gentile who had received God’s salvation, to “make Israel jealous.” So he left his successful business in Canada with a new call on his life: to bring needy immigrants out of the former Soviet Union and into the Promised Land.
Together they partnered to bring the warmth of a home to those with no where to go, and founded the Aliyah Return Center.
