Fall 2018
The Fall 2018 edition of our newsletter includes stories of a few of Israel’s founders and the importance of Yad Sarah in their lives today. As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Israeli independence this year, this issue highlights one of Yad Sarah’s very special missions: giving back to thousands of Israel’s founders — at a time when they need us most. Whether they escaped the horrors of the Holocaust, were refugees from Arab nations or ventured from America to find a new homeland, these pioneers sacrificed so much to bring the dream of a Jewish State to life. And now, as they grow old and frail, it is our turn to repay the debt.
At Yad Sarah, we see these people struggle every day and do whatever we can to help. Our programs and services make sure that their medical, safety, and emotional needs are addressed — in addition to providing a virtual lifeline for many isolated elderly people. While Yad Sarah touches nearly 420,000 men, women, and children in Israel each year, we are deeply gratified to attend to this generation of soldiers, farmers, rabbis, nurses, teachers, and many others who helped build our nation. Your support helps to make this possible. Thank you so much.
