This Monday, we were honored to host the second gathering of Lishmor al Kesher at the Beit Ben Yehuda (BBY). These meetings in collaboration with Amcha, aim to maintain meaningful connections with Holocaust survivors, especially during this time when no volunteers are currently present in Israel to meet with them. By inviting survivors to BBY, we strive to create a warm and welcoming space to spend quality time together.
The meeting was as heartwarming and inspiring as the first one, filled with great conversations and delicious food. A special highlight of the afternoon was the unforgettable performance by the incredible Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk, who sang Yiddish and Ladino songs as well as ancient religious Nigunim. Her music brought depth and beauty to the event, creating a truly memorable experience. 🎶
We extend our deepest gratitude to the Axel Springer Foundation for their generous financial support and to Georg Liebich, representing the German association Denk Dran!, who personally traveled to Israel and sponsored the music program for this gathering.
Denk Dran! is an inspiring organization that works tirelessly to combat antisemitism, promote Holocaust remembrance in Germany, and organize commemorative and educational trips to Israel and across Europe. We deeply value their dedication and are grateful for their collaboration. 🤝
