Anshel Pfeffer, Haaretz Jewish World Correspondent: U.S. billionaire Adelson pledges $60 million to birthright program
Talkback
Title:A generous gift for the future of Israel
Name:Dr. Rona Michelson
City: Modi`inState: Israel
In regard to the previous comment, I spent the first 50 years of my life in the US and actually never met a multi-millionaire, so while I am happy that there are some living in the Jewish community there, I don`t really think that their children make up a significant proportion of those who come on Birthright. Mr. Adelson`s generous gift allows youth who might never have the opportunity to come and experience Israel and feel what it is to be in the heart of the Jewish people. They go home strengthened and many decide to return both as tourists and olim. Kol HaKavod!
