Adopt-A-Safta is a non-profit initiative that honors Holocaust memory & pairs young professional Internationals and Sabras with Survivors of the Shoah who feel lonely.  Working off of the Big Brother/Big Sister model, our young volunteers will “adopt” a grandmother or grandfather in Israel that is in need of love and attention.  Our goal is to train as many volunteers as possible and to connect these two communities; young professionals seeking to make meaningful contributions, and the Survivors in need of warmth and connection, while we still are blessed with the presence of this holy generation.

Adopt-A-Safta has been founded in blessed memory of Kathe Friedman (Kalya bat Feigel).
