Yad LaKashish Lifeline for the Old 4.06

Yad LaKashish is a non-profit empowering and supporting nearly 300 elderly Jerusalem residents on a daily basis. We providing them with community and creative work opportunities in our artistic workshops.

Our mission is to empower needy elderly people, to renew their sense of purpose and self-worth, to enable them to feel like valued, integrated members of Israeli society, and to spread the value of respect for the elderly far and wide.

By teaching them to make beautiful handmade craft and Judaica items which are subsequently sold in our onsite gift shop as well as providing a range of support services, Yad LaKashish instills our elderly with a sense of dignity, community and self-sufficiency. We welcome visitors of all ages to meet our elderly in an attempt to create a new generation of advocates for the aged.

Yad LaKashish/Lifeline for the Old has helped thousands of elderly since it was established in 1962, by implementing the highest degree of tzedakah - helping people help themselves.
