The inspiration behind the DL Link

inspired by

As Devorah Leah Levy, of blessed memory, bravely fought her illness, she dreamed of an for others. And so 8 years ago, the DL Link was founded in her honour. We offer lifestyle support to patients affected by cancer.


When faced with a serious illness, we're your link.

The journey through Cancer can be long, demanding and draining. The DL Link is here to share this very lonely burden and help families withstand this crisis

We involve and educate communities in caring for ill people and their families, embodying the ideals of compassion, kindness and caring for others inherent in Jewish life.

As Devorah Leah Levy, of blessed memory, bravely fought her illness she dreamed of an easier experience for others, where patients and their families can find respite from the trauma and challenge of serious illness.

    DL Link provides a host of comprehensive, professional and expert support services to any member affected by cancer patients, their families and friends, to help heal the body, mind and soul.

The New DL Link Refoel Centre is a nurturing space devoted to bring small joys, comfort, guidance and healing to patients and families affected by Cancer.

“The DL Link doesn’t show you that there is life after Cancer, but that there is life DURING Cancer too!” Roni Hirshowitz, Cancer survivor- DL Link beneficiary
