Farewell to an Israel Resource: Sara Lahyani

After 10 amazing years, Sara Lahyani, our Israel Resource Center Program Manager, is leaving the Jewish Federation and moving to Israel with her family. It is hard to believe that nearly 10 years have passed since she first walked through the doors of the Jewish Federation. As Sara describes it, growing up with a strong connection to Israel, Sara has gained great naches, or satisfaction, from helping kids get to Israel. Hearing their stories when they return, hearing the impact Israel has had on them and knowing that she has been somehow involved in this life-changing experience has been incredibly gratifying for her.

“The thing is, to me, the work I have done here is so much more than just a job, this has been a passion, it’s a part of me,” says Sara. And you have been an important part of the Jewish Federation.

On behalf of the Jewish Federation and hundreds of kids, and their families, you have helped have successful experiences in Israel, thank you Sara and good luck in Israel.
