This year marks the 26th anniversary of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin z”l. Prime Minister Rabin was a close friend and a great supporter of Keren Hayesod – UIA and of the bond between the Jewish Diaspora and the State of Israel. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin advocated for Aliyah and recognized Keren Hayesod’s significant role in facilitating Aliyah and aiding in the absorption process for new immigrants.

We invite you to watch two special moments in which Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin met with the former leadership of Keren Hayesod and the Jewish Agency for Israel, and in which he gave a special message in honor of Keren Hayesod’s 75th anniversary, only a few months before his assassination.

In these videos, you will see familiar faces from the Keren Hayesod family and instrumental Israeli leaders: Shimon Peres z”l, Mendel Kaplan z”l, Julia Koschitzky, Shlomo Hillel z”l, Moshe Gur, Yechiel Leket and more.

May the memory of PM Rabin z”l be blessed.
