The Jewish Innovation

Lori, my wife and the mother of our children, passed away earlier this year, after a courageous battle with cancer, just a few months before our youngest son’s Bar Mitzvah in July 2015. We would like to honour Lori’s memory by helping to restore the Aminadav nature reserve (situated ago in the western hills of Jerusalem). This reserve, which we often visited as a family, was badly damaged during a forest fire two years ago.
I can’t think of a more perfect way to bring back the memory of that connection.
אשתי ואם ילדי נפטרה בתחילת השנה מסרטן אלים, חודשים ספורים לפני הבר מצווה של הבן הצעיר. לזכרה ומורשתה ברצוני להנציח את שמה על ידי שיקום יער עמינדב במורדות ממערביים של ירושלים שנשרף לפני כשנתיים, זה המקום שבו היינו מטיילים לעיתים קרובות , מוכר ואהוב על ידי שנינו ובהחלט מקום שיכול להנציח את שמה,הפרויקט מבוצע על ידי הקק’ל.

The Impact

As Jews, memory and the commemoration of memory is what sustains us as a people. Lori made Aliyah from Canada and over time, came to connect with the land of Israel.
The JNF as a Jewish organization has been working on creating and rehabilitating forests in Israel and has for generations been a symbol and vehicle for the connection between world Jewry and Israel.

What Will You Do with the Money?

There is a plot of JNF land in the western hills of Jerusalem, in the area of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, which was burned two years ago.
Ben, our youngest son will celebrate his Bar Mitzvah in July 2015 and we want to replant and re-invigorate the forest, in the western hills of Jerusalem, in the memory of his mother. All of the money will be used to fund this project in her memory.

הכסף כולו ייתרם לקרן קיימת לישראל עבור פעולות השיקום של יער עמינדב שנמצא מול בית חולים הדסה עין כרם שנשרף לפני כשנתיים, בר המצווה של בני יהיה בתחילת יולי השנה וברצוני לקשר בין הנצחת שמה של לורי לחגיגת המצווה

I have been a tour guide for the last 16 years. I was born and raised in Jerusalam and live today in Maale Adumim with my 2 children. Shai started his Army service 3 months ago and Ben will celebrate his Bar Mitzva at the beginning of the summer.
