SUPPORTING

ISRAEL'S DEFENDERS

Hundreds of thousands of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers are working day and night to protect Israel. Through the Soldier Rehabilitation Service, Yad Sarah makes sure these soldiers are comfortable and cared for. Since the declaration of war on Sunday, October 8th, 2023, Yad Sarah has supported more than 2,500 IDF soldiers by providing medical equipment, transportation, and more.

WE CAN CARE

FOR ISRAEL'S BUILDERS

Whether they escaped the horrors of the Holocaust, were refugees from Arab nations, or ventured from America to find a new homeland, Israel's pioneers sacrificed to bring the dream of a Jewish State to life. And now, as Israel's builders grow old and frail, it is our turn to repay the debt. Our programs and services address their medical, safety, and emotional needs. Your support enables us to attend to this generation of soldiers, farmers, rabbis, nurses, teachers, and many others who helped build our nation.
