The Operation’s leading partners are a highly committed, involved group, and we are confident and hopeful that these partners will continue to support joint action in the next stages. The list of partners appears in the beginning of this document, in the section “The Yeladenu Operation – An Overview”.
“Execution of the Yeladenu Operation, in all its complexity, was made possible thanks to a dedicated group of committed partners. The partners’ high level of involvement and full cooperation all along the way reflected a shared understanding of the opportunities and advantages of a joint initiative even in a time of emergency. We were deeply moved by every partner who joined and every grant we received, whether large or small, reinforcing our will and commitment to do more for the children and youth during such a hard period in their lives. We are forever grateful for the faith and genuine commitment to the cause.” Lili Weinstein Yaffe, Partnerships Manager at Sheatufim and the Yeladenu Operation
“In the first days of the war, we at JFNA already decided to focus on the areas of resilience and mental health, understanding that individual, communal and national resilience would be the key for continuing to cope with the situation, as well as for the State of Israel’s future prosperity. When we received a request to join Yeladenu, we presented it to our people with the utmost confidence. The partnership between JFNA and Sheatufim is longstanding and is founded on immense trust, and we knew this was an organization that knows how to leverage large projects and to build multiple partnerships. We remembered from previous emergency situations how important it is to also take care of the intermediate and long term, and we understood this was how things would be done at Yeladenu. During the Operation solutions were provided for a very broad population, with strategic thinking with numerous partners around the table. We felt it was a great privilege for us to take part in these meetings and influence strengthening the resilience of children and youth together with them. Based on the success of Yeladenu, we are examining together with Sheatufim’s leadership other areas it would be right for us to enter in the coming weeks or months, to expand the positive impact on various populations and fields.” Becky Caspi, Director General, Israel Office, and Senior VP, Jewish Federations of North America
