MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING…

Miki and Rina’s son was killed on October 7 while trying to release hostages from a house in Kfar Azar.

Wounded twice before October 7 in combat, Omri’s courage was well-known.  Join us as his parents Miki and Rina tell his story.

At the end, details will be shared on how donations can be made to Omri’s unit, to support the families of the fallen and the psychiatric and medical rehabilitation of unit members.

Unfortunately, the venue is only available to us from 7.15pm.  We would be grateful if members could help put out chairs and library books as soon as they arrive, so that we can start on time.

ADMISSION:  Please bring a plate of finger food (no pork or seafood products, thanks).
