2025

December 10, 2025

Venue: Moise Safra Center
New York City

American Friends of Ma’agalim will host Paralympic gold medalist and two-time world champion in Taekwondo Asaf Yasur. At just 13 years old, Asaf Yasur lost both of his hands and believed his world had ended. Instead, he defied every expectation and today, Asaf brings that same determination to Ma’agalim, where he mentors at-risk teens across Israel – young people who have been written off, underestimated, or left behind. When they hear Asaf’s story, they don’t see a champion on a podium; they see proof that setbacks do not define them – and that their future is still being written.

Join us for an inspiration and moving evening.
