Yad Leah: You Have to See It to Believe It

The common refrain from all of the schools was, “Wow! I never imagined Yad Leah was such a huge operation!”

Of the $10 million worth of clothing that Yad Leah sends to Israel each year, a 90-minute packing session by a school group can prepare over 20 boxes, valued at $20,000 in clothing. Their time and effort make a meaningful impact!

Bruriah student Sari Fogel said, “I truly felt like I was doing chessed—even though I don’t see the families who receive the clothes—because it was such a hands-on experience.”
