Ms. Goldberg joined Yad Sarah as Executive Director of Friends of Yad Sarah in September 2003, representing the mission of Yad Sarah to its friends in the USA and to the international community at the UN. The New York office is open to assist families and communities with dedication opportunities, Bnai Mitzvah chesed projects, planned giving, equipment collections and other new initiatives, raising much needed funds to support the work of the Yad Sarah organization and its dedicated corps of volunteers in Israel.
