Argentina’s Jewish Senior Citizens Find a Home at LeDor VaDor

Did you know Federation and our partner agency, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), have been supporting Argentina’s Jewish community for the past 15 years? Many of these families have such limited incomes that they are unable to provide financial support for their aging family members. Thanks to LeDor VaDor Home for the Aged, 330 Jewish senior citizens have a warm and safe place to call home. The Buenos Aires facility offers comprehensive medical services, a range of programs that minimize isolation, and the opportunity to connect with the wider Jewish community. The model has been so successful that it has been replicated by other communities in the region, such as Uruguay.
