In Nisan, the network held a significant commemorative event at the Culture Hall in Petah Tikva to honor its fallen graduates of the war. The entrance hall featured displays of photos and stories of the fallen, alongside an olive tree adorned with yellow ribbons as a tribute to the abductees. Accompanied by singer Yonatan Razel, the event culminated with a minyan in memory of the fallen, led on stage by Avery Neulander, the father of Elkanah Neulander, and Iti Kalaf, a student of the Orot Yehuda synagogue in Efrat. The event was attended by bereaved families, network leadership, educational staff, graduates, and students, reflecting the network’s dedication to honoring the fallen, supporting their families, and fostering intergenerational connections.
