Recipient of the Israel Prize, Mr. Yehoram Gaon is an icon of Israeli culture and a giant of Hebrew music; he has been closely associated with Yad Sarah for decades and performs voluntarily and with great love on its behalf for the volunteers who bridge the Israeli rainbow. Mr. Gaon was born in Jerusalem in 1939, the son of the renowned Jerusalem educator Moshe David Gaon. After performing in the Nahal Brigade entertainment troupe, he was one of the founding members of “HaTarnegolim” (The Roosters). Since then, Yehoram Gaon has gained Israeli admiration across the board, and he is considered Israel’s favorite singer. Alongside his musical career, Yehoram Gaon was discovered to be a particularly talented actor. He starred in blockbusters that were worldwide successes, such as ‘Casablanca’ and ‘Operation Entebee’, and in many other extremely successful films and TV series. The great love and support of people from all walks of life brought Yehoram Gaon to the Jerusalem City Council where he served as a member of the city administration. At the Jerusalem municipality, he became acquainted with Yad Sarah’s founder, Rabbi Uri Lupolianski, and was impressed by Yad Sarah’s tremendous activity. Mr. Gaon considers it a privilege to be one of the members of the Planning Committee that approved the construction of the building complex that houses the Yad Sarah National Headquarters in Jerusalem. Over the years, Mr. Gaon has been involved in the success of Yad Sarah. He performed for the volunteers completely voluntarily and gave media appearances to spread the message of Yad Sarah.
