"For us, it's really the joy of seeing Israel through other people's eyes," said Dan Kraft, a prominent Boston-based philanthropist. In the wake of the tragic events of October 7 - and with the continued hope of the hostages' return - Dan Kraft, a prominent Boston-based philanthropist, and former Major League Baseball star Kevin Youkilis embarked on a solidarity mission to Israel that was both deeply emotional and profoundly impactful. The trip, organized by Kraft and his wife Wendy, is part of a long family tradition of supporting Israel, one that spans generations.
