Rachel Lapidot

How is your Hero working to make the world a better place?

Rachel befriended me to her Jewish Federation and enabled me to join with her and 150 others on a trip and tour of Israel. She accepted me, a non-Jew, as her guest. Since then I am a devoted supporter of Israel and have demonstrated it by some rather large financial grants. I have an undying love of Israel and its people, and pray for God's protection. Other events and involvements with her are a part of my life even today.

How has your Hero impacted your life and inspired you?

I am a strong supporter of Israel in any proposed way in my ability thanks in part to Rachel.
