Testimonials

We would like to express our gratitude to Yad l'Olim, and in particular, Dana Cohen, who provided invaluable assistance, via both email and a phone meeting, to us regarding a complicated situation with our daughter. I was feeling quite overwhelmed and reached out to Yad l'Olim, a wonderful organization. Dana gave us important information that had not shown up in our previous research. I urge all olim to donate to Yad l'Olim to help ensure that this wonderful organization will stay strong and will continue to provide information and much needed support to olim."

My experience with Dov Lipman was amazing. I had sent medication to Israel and it got delayed in customs. Within hours of contacting him he was busy trying to get the medication released and thank G-d it was.

This organization really helps! I asked them to help me prepare for my first interview in Hebrew. The FSU team organized a meeting, trained me, asked relevant questions and helped me to translate my answers in a correct manner.The meeting had a friendly and easy-going atmosphere.

Hi. My name is Gaby and I am an Olah Chadasha. I was traveling back to the USA for a visit and got stuck in Vienna. I didn’t know what to do and especially didn’t know how to get Kosher food. I contacted Yad L’Olim. They helped calm my nerves, made me feel cared for, and arranged for me to get Kosher food. It’s so nice knowing there is an organization that Olim can turn to for assistance including emergency help.

We are Toshavim Chozrim who came on Aliyah in 1979 but unfortunately it did not work out for us (for financial reasons). After much heartbreak we returned to London for 12 years and then moved to the US for 22 years. We were determined to return to Israel when we retired, and a year ago we decided the time had come. It was in the middle of the Covid Pandemic and things were so confusing. Yad L’Olim was a tremendous help in trying to figure out when to go and how to approach the pandemic complications.We finally arrived in May of 2022 and it has been the best decision we ever made. Our biggest challenge has been leaving our kids and grandkids in America, but we hope they will follow.

Спасибо Дову Липману и Yad L’Olim за ваши наставления и защиту, которые помогли нам воссоединиться с нашим солдатом-одиночкой.

Хочу выразить огромную благодарность организации Yad L'Olim за помощь в получении гражданства в кратчайшие сроки. Они нашли нам временное жилье в Эйлате и помогли перевезти все наши вещи в кибуц. Они также предоставили нам ваучер на питание.

С огромной благодарностью хочу сказать спасибо организации Yad L’Olim за все, что вы делаете для нас! Благодаря этой организации мы с дочерью получили в пользование чемодан, чтобы мы могли путешествовать по стране! И большое спасибо за ваучер на питание.

Мы хотели бы поблагодарить Дебору Финклештейн и всю команду Yad L'Olim от чистого сердца за то, что помогли приехать моей маме, тестю и невестке в Израиль на бар-мицву нашего сына. Дебора проявила инициативу с того момента, как услышала нашу историю, и провела нас через все бюрократические процедуры, чтобы помочь нашей семье приехать. Мы бы не справились без вас!!! Это так много значило для нас и для нашего сына. Спасибо.

“I’m from Argentina, I came to Israel in March 2022. I find this way to learn Hebrew [at the Hebrew Conversation Club] so good for us, because speaking is the best way, in my opinion, to learn Hebrew."

Большое спасибо за помощь! Спасибо Израилю и Yad L'Olim за заботу о новых иммигрантах, за поддержку в трудную минуту. Мы никогда не забудем вашу теплоту и доброту. Ваши ваучеры на питание очень помогли нам!

Yad L’Olim was a tremendous help when applying to get my parents into the country for my wedding. The team offered answers to my countless questions and helped to ensure all of our documents were in order.I am more grateful than words could ever describe! I could not have imagined my wedding without my parents and thanks to Yad L’Olim, I didn’t need to

As an Olah, dealing with medical issues and challenges cannot only be confusing, but stressful and isolating. I’m so grateful to Yad L’Olim for stepping in when I had nowhere else to go. They helped sort out my medical benefits to make sure I was utilizing every aspect of our medical care system. Thank you!
