Rinat Ridder – Yad Sarah's director for the Northern District – is in charge of ensuring that the 29 branches in Northern Israel under her supervision have the medical equipment and supplies they need. She was recently transporting medical supplies when an air raid siren sounded. Rinat quickly pulled over and took cover on the ground but heard a little girl cry, "Shema Yisrael," in fear. Without hesitation, Rinat rushed to protect the girl.
"Let's breathe together," said Rinat to the young girl. She knew that she needed to provide a sense of calm for the child in this stressful moment.
A few seconds later, a missile landed mere meters away. Thankfully, neither Rinat nor the young girl were injured. After ensuring the girl was safe, Rinat's journey did not stop. She continued up north to complete the delivery of essential medical equipment.
