Yalie Harel

Yalie Harel, a vital member of the Miami Beach Jewish community, has been an ardent volunteer in various chesed organizations throughout South Florida. She and her husband Aryeh embarked on their journey in Miami Beach several years ago, swiftly becoming integral figures in the community and advocating for numerous important causes. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Yalie, only 37 years old and a mother of three young children, faced the daunting challenge of battling invasive breast cancer. Despite enduring tests, biopsies, and appointments alone due to Covid restrictions, Yalie courageously navigated her diagnosis and treatment, relentlessly seeking resources and support.

Sharsheret, an exceptional organization, entered Yalie’s life and became a guiding light during her ordeal. As a sharsheret caller, Yalie personally experienced the incredible impact of Sharsheret’s work. Sharsheret has been there for Yalie throughout her battle and treatment. Utilizing Instagram, she candidly shared her journey, becoming an inspiration to countless women while offering solace and assistance to those confronting breast cancer. Yalie passionately advocated for others, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing health and well-being.

Upon completing her rigorous treatment, Yalie decided to confront her fear of public speaking. With unwavering determination, she delivered compelling speeches at significant events, notably addressing high school students during Sharsheret’s Annual Pink Day and captivating the audience at the JCC Sharsheret Mahjong event in March. Yalie’s story resonates as a testament to inspiration, a genuine champion for Sharsheret, and an embodiment of resilience and strength.
