Yad Sarah’s Third Oxygen Center Opens in Ra'anana

Yad Sarah has established a new oxygen center in Ra'anana – an addition to the existing oxygen centers in Jerusalem and Haifa.

Volunteers at the center will refill oxygen cylinders and distribute them to Yad Sarah's nearby branches. There, residents can borrow oxygen cylinders in case of widespread blackouts due to potential strikes on Israel's power grid.

As conflict with Hezbollah continues to rise, so does the need for medical equipment – including oxygen. In a clear display of this need, on the day of a recent Hezbollah attack, the oxygen center in Haifa distributed 193 oxygen cylinders and all available portable oxygen generators.

The oxygen center in Ra'anana will expand these services to Israel's central region. The center is named in honor of Rabbi Yehuda Shmuel and Tzipora Shapira z"l, who dedicated 35 years to volunteering with Yad Sarah.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rabbi Yehuda Shmuel and Tzipora Shapira both worked around the clock at Yad Sarah to provide oxygen tanks to those in need. Now, the oxygen center in Ra'anana will honor their legacy of service and dedication to the people of Israel and continue providing Yad Sarah's life-saving services.
