My relationship to Ronen Foundation

Yafa and I met a few years ago, and before I even got to work with the foundation, I moved to New York, where I did my Master’s. It is actually there, where our connection got stronger and now, when I am back in Israel, my connection to the foundation got stronger as well.

Yafa and I clicked immediately. Already after our first meeting I had the feeling that I, and my fellow musician friends, have this huge support, which is so rarely seen these days. Yafa is so thoughtful and cares about us personally and helps us, through the foundation, financially. You can always approach her with any idea and create together many wonderful, exciting things.

The Ronen Foundation is not like any foundation. It is a family, a community, that Yafa nurtures with so much love. I am honored to be part of the Ronen Faoundation.
