New Hope leader Gideon Sa'ar addressed the passing of Sheldon Adelson: “Sheldon Adelson was one of the greatest supporters of Jewish organizations in Israel and around the world. Over the past decades, he contributed to many causes, including strengthening Jewish education, commemorating the Holocaust, connecting Israel to the Diaspora, and everything else that could strengthen Israel. In addition to his philanthropic activities, Adelson was a passionate advocate for Israel to all the powers in America. My deepest condolences go to his wife Miriam and to all his family. May his memory be a blessing"
