“A bequest through the L’Chaim Society is our way to encourage our children and grandchildren to stay engaged and ‘pay forward’ our love and devotion - for Israel and the impact the Village Way is making."
- Michael Azeez, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
“Impact Israel and Yemin Orde have been such a major part of our lives. We have done a great job telling our children about the organization and we look forward to sharing the same with our grandchildren. An endowment to ImpactIsrael allows our future generations to know what was truly important to us.”
- Amy and Robert Arogeti, Atlanta, Georgia
“I think of the Village’s youth as the hope of the future. The mates they choose. The families they raise. The roles they’ll play in Israel’s security and future. I want them to continue to grow and spread their beautiful spirit.”
- Sandy Goldstein, Boston, Massachusetts

It was love at first sight! On a mission to Israel in 1999, we stopped at Yemin Orde for a few hours. I was immediately impressed with its goals of rearing and educating orphans (or virtual orphans) from around the world. But beyond the admiration of its objectives was the emotion of meeting both the enthusiastic kids and the warm, deeply devoted staff and teachers. In the words of Shimon Peres, this was the embodiment of the Israel we all dream and hope for...
"There is no place like Yemin Orde anywhere in the world — no place! I pray that the whole world will become like Yemin Orde. "
