Our Story
Jerusalem was divided and besieged with social and economic challenges. There was no time to think about how to help the elderly, let alone how they could contribute to the young state.

Myriam Mendilow, a school teacher, was distraught by the elderly’s loss of self-respect as well as by her students’ disrespectful attitude toward them. She decided to take action. 

Inspired by one of the pillars of tzedaka, helping others help themselves, she opened a small bookbinding workshop where eight local elderly men were trained in the craft. Local schools brought tattered books from their libraries to the workshop, and for a small fee, the elderly rebound the books. The children started to bond with the elderly, and soon the group of beggars rediscovered that even in their old age, they had something to contribute to society. Over 60 years later, Yad LaKashish has expanded to 9 workshops and nearly 200 elderly.
 
For 27 years, Myriam led the organization with vision and passion. Upon her passing, Nava Ein Mor was selected to continue Myriam’s mission. Under her direction, Yad LaKashish expanded its local and global impact; the number of elderly artisans doubled and acquisition of the campus in which Yad LaKashish operates was completed. After 28 years of dedicated leadership, Nava retired and in December 2017 and passed the baton to Ariela (Relly) Schwartz-Zur, who was her deputy director for more than a decade.

Yad LaKashish is proud to have pioneered a model of positive aging, and over 60 years later we continue to create a space where the elderly can remain active, contributing members of society.

Our Mission

What We Do
Each day, nearly 200 seniors arrive at Yad LaKashish’s art workshops, where they engage in skilled, hands-on work guided by professional artists. Participants are trained in bookbinding, ceramics, silk painting, metalwork, and more - creating beautiful handmade pieces sold in our Gift Shop.

In return, our artisans receive a comprehensive package of financial and social benefits. This includes a monthly stipend, a nutritious daily hot lunch, health insurance premium coverage, a warm community, a renewed sense of dignity, and a healthy, daily routine.

Yad LaKashish is also a place of learning and connection for the younger generation. Through our tours, students and visitors from around the world witness firsthand how much older adults still have to contribute. It’s a powerful message. One that reshapes attitudes and builds deeper intergenerational respect.

Who We Serve
To make sure our support reaches those who need it most, our elderly participants are both above retirement age and living below the poverty line. Many of those we serve are immigrants from around the world, including the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia, South America, and Iran. Approximately half are Holocaust survivors. Others made heroic journeys on foot to reach Israel, driven by war or famine. Arriving in Israel full of hope, they faced steep challenges including cultural differences, language difficulties and trouble finding work in their professional field.

Almost all experience deep loneliness and food insecurity. Yad LaKashish offers them more than just a second chance. We offer them a place to belong. With training, encouragement, and care, they become part of a community of elderly artisans who create, grow, and thrive together. Each has a powerful story.

Our model is simple yet transformative: when people feel needed and valued, they thrive.

Message from Our Director
Since 1962, our Jerusalem-based nonprofit has been at the forefront of social and economic advocacy, offering a lifeline to the city’s low-income elderly. In our 9 art workshops, nearly 200 seniors gather each day to learn new skills, create beautiful handmade pieces, and rediscover purpose, friendship, and pride. The results of our unique Model of Positive Aging are transformative. For them, and for all of us.

At the heart of our work is a simple truth: when older adults are given the opportunity to be a meaningful part of society, they thrive. And when we honor their contributions, society becomes stronger and more compassionate for everyone.

Whether you tour the workshops, visit the Gift Shop in person or online, or support our mission from afar, you are helping to rewrite the story of aging.

I warmly invite you to be a part of this powerful journey.

Best Wishes,
Ariela (Relly) Schwartz-Zur
Executive Director

A Letter from Our Chair:

Shalom,

When a society values its elders, it tells a powerful story about who it is and what it stands for.

Yad LaKashish began with a simple yet profound idea: that every person, no matter their age or circumstance, deserves to live with dignity and purpose. Today, more than sixty years later, that vision remains our foundation, reflected in the thousands of lives it has changed.

I am deeply proud to serve as Chair of an organization that does more than just care for the elderly. It honors them, uplifts them and invites all of us to do the same.

Our mission is not one we can carry alone. It belongs to all of us. Every visit, every purchase, every gift of support helps build a future where aging is a value, and embraced with compassion and respect.

Thank you for standing with us.

Yours,


Gideon
Chair, Yad LaKashish
