touching new Olim, disadvantaged schools and those living in the more vulnerable areas in the South of Israel.
With recent renewed attacks and wave of terror currently engulfing every sector of Israeli society, no one is left untouched. Everyone is a potential victim – young, old, citizen and soldier, secular and religious.
Keren Hayesod-UIA’s supported Victims of Terror Fund is on the ground, ready to spring to action to provide immediate support and backing to help anyone, anywhere.
The Tikvah Young Women’s Division will hear from Sydney Expat Sarah Vanunu who has built a remarkable life in Israel. Funds raised through this division will go toward a Pre Pesach enrichment camp for new Olim at the Yeílim Absorption Centre in the South.
