The Honorable Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau (may he only know good days, Amen), upholds the banner of the rabbinate by welcoming and bringing hearts closer to the Torah. For many years now, he has faithfully accompanied the activities of Yad Sarah. Rabbi Lau, a descendant of a long line of rabbis, was born in Poland in 1937; he survived the horrors of the Holocaust as he and his brother, the late Naftali, were the only ones of their entire extended family to remain in the concentration camps. After the miracle of salvation, the young brothers immigrated to Israel as they gathered strength and fought for their future and the fulfillment of the promise to the Holy Father to continue the rabbinical dynasty. Indeed, from a young age he was recognized as a brilliant and influential rabbi. He was appointed Rabbi of North Tel Aviv, Rabbi of the city of Netanya, Rabbi of the city of Tel Aviv and Chief Rabbi of Israel. Throughout his tenure at the rabbinate, Rabbi Lau is privileged to generate feelings of love towards G-d amongst his flock while extending his right hand to draw them near. As part of this leadership, Rabbi Lau adopted Yad Sarah and its volunteers; in this context, he inaugurated the first Yad Sarah branch in the city of Netanya and later encouraged and congratulated the volunteers. Rabbi Lau is an honorary ambassador of Yad Sarah on public platforms in Israel and around the world.
