W e see miracles happen every day at Yad Sarah. And we are committed to providing everyone in Israel with the medical assistance they need. Yad Sarah provides rehabilitative equipment, alarms and monitors—either free or deeply discounted—that allows for recuperating at home. We also provide dental care, medical research and rehabilitative therapy. If you need crutches, wheelchairs, oxygen equipment, hospital beds or bassinets, one of our 107 branches can serve you. (We are a non- sectarian and non-governmental organization.) Our latest initiative is a hotel for women who have experienced pregnancy loss through miscarriage or stillbirth, which can be a traumatic experience on par with going to war. Now, a recuperation hotel in Jerusalem will provide support, relaxation and validation outside of a maternity ward. The plan is to host 100 women a year, to cope with their loss, heal and find strength. Within three days of word getting out about this initiative, 30 people contacted Yad Sarah about staying at the hotel, a solution previously unavailable in the country. You can join over 7,000 brave “Nachshon ben Aminadav” and discover how we have assisted so many. Visit us, volunteer with us, or donate to strengthen the bond between Canadian Jews and our brothers and sisters in Israel. Yad Sarah’s motto is “Mikol Halev” or “From the Heart,” because our hearts are overflowing with compassion and action, representing the best of Israel’s spirit, mutual support and community. Your charitable gifts within Canada will also generate a tax receipt. I hope we can count on you. Yad Sarah: Medical equipment loans and social services—to Israel with heart
experience in numerous Jewish not-for-profit organizations, combined with his thoughtful leadership style and success in the field of development, position him well for the CFBIU CEO role,” noted Harold Spring. Bar-Ilan is Israel’s fastest growing university, ranked among the top universities in the world. Its emphasis on multidisciplinary and impact-based research, combined with its continued incorporation of Jewish values and Zionism, situates Bar-Ilan in a critical and unique space within Israel’s academia. As CEO for CFBIU, Randy brings a successful track record raising millions of dollars for charitable activities, as well as working with hundreds of volunteers and community leaders. “This position is a tremendous opportunity to help grow an organization dedicated to providing outstanding education and research opportunities for both emerging and established scholars dedicated to having a positive impact on Israel and the world,” stated Spiegel. Randy, who holds Masters degrees in Jewish Communal Service and Management of Human Services, joins CFBIU after a very successful 11 years as Executive Director of Beth Tzedec Congregation, North America’s largest conservative congregation, prior to which he served for eight and a half years as Executive Director of Zareinu Educational Centre, (now known as Kayla’s Children Centre).
