We are proud to announce that our President and CEO Yael Eckstein just received “Woman of the Year” award at the Jaffa Institute annual gala for her long-standing partnership in which The Fellowship has been assisting in the donation of food to Holocaust survivors, the elderly, and families in need. We partner with the Jaffa Institute, which provides equal opportunities among disadvantaged populations to ensure food security.

Yael later shared to her Facebook page:

…My father Rabbi Eckstein began The Fellowship’s partnership with Jaffa Institute over 20 years ago…and now, it’s the next generation carrying this holy work forward of feeding the hungry…clothing the naked…sheltering the poor.

And, to have my daughters, sisters, and nieces sitting by my side at this very meaningful event, was the greatest thing in the world.

This award isn’t mine – it’s OURS. Thank you, to all of The Fellowship’s friends and supporters- for being part of our lifesaving mission, here in Israel.
