“It is an honor to work with the extraordinary staff in Jerusalem to help strengthen the daily life of all of Jerusalem’s residents.  I was inspired to come to the Foundation by Shai Doron, z’l, whose dedication to Jerusalem was unparalleled. There has never been a more important time to bring critical resources to the city that so many people around the world call a spiritual home. We can do this work because members of the board and supporters all over the country understand that, in this most challenging time for Israel, we must both do what we can to help right now and plan for better days ahead.”  Joy Levitt
