Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal donated $1 million to the Home Front Defense
Ministry on Wednesday to help build bomb shelters and buy mobile
shelters.
Eliezer Sandberg, world chairman of Keren Hayesod, and Yohanna
Arbib-Perugia, chairwoman of the organization’s board of trustees, handed the
check to Home Front Defense Minister Avi Dichter in his Sderot
office.
“The donors and the activists mobilized from the very first
minute,” Sandberg said. “This is the result. As in the past, Keren Hayesod will
always stand by the State of Israel for every need.”
“It is important

shoulder,” Arbib-Perugia said. “Keren Hayesod is honored to make this
life-saving contribution.”
