These men and women witnessed horrors that shattered entire communities. Yet they carried on — with courage, with resilience, and with a quiet dignity that commands our deepest respect.
Their presence among us is not just a reminder of the past. It is a living connection to the history of our people. And as long as they are here, we will be
with them.
WHAT YAD YISROEL DOES
Every day, students from our school join other volunteers to deliver hot, nourishing meals to Holocaust survivors in their homes — with a warm smile and a few kind words. These visits are not just logistics. They bring light into an otherwise quiet home. They say: you are remembered. You matter.
Yad Yisroel also hosts regular gatherings for the elderly at our school campus — with Torah learning, holiday celebrations, warm meals, music, and laughter. These are not charity events. They are community.
WHAT THIS MEANS
These elderly men and women carry the weight of our collective history. We have the privilege — and the responsibility — of carrying them now, with warmth,
respect, and love.
Support our care for Holocaust survivors in Belarus. Help ensure that their final years are filled with nourishment, company, dignity, and the knowledge that they are not forgotten.
