Nachum welcomed Michael Benson, Volunteer Director in Be’er Sheva for Israel’s Yad Sarah, to this morning’s JM in the AM to highlight Yad Sarah and their services available for both Israeli residents and tourists/non-residents with disabilities. From the Yad Sarah website: “Yad Sarah, the largest voluntary organization in Israel, provides a spectrum of free or nominal cost services designed to make life easier for sick, disabled and elderly people and their families.
Today, more than four decades after it was founded, Yad Sarah has more than 100 branches throughout Israel run by more than 6,000 volunteers, and saves the Israeli economy several hundred million dollars per year in hospitalization and medical costs.
Yad Sarah’s mission is to keep the ill and the elderly in their homes and out of institutions as long as possible. Home care in the natural environment of the family is most conducive to healthy recuperation, both physically and emotionally. It also costs much less.” Visit the Yad Sarah website HERE.
