We have posted our Yom Ha'Zikaron program, Remembering the Fallen. Memorializing our Tzahal soldiers is most difficult, to date, 22,000 men and women have fallen in defense of Medinat Yisrael.

Several alumni asked that we honor Dr. Tzachi Bentov z"l, their Israeli classmate, a commando navy seal who fell while serving in the elite unit, Shayetet Shelosh Esreh. There were different elements in the program and each one helped our students appreciate the magnitude of this day of national aveilut.

Click here to listen to the Israel Ambassador to the United Nations, Gabriela Shalev, Dr. Yoni Perk and Daniel Altman who spoke passionately about Tzachi. In addition, Rabbi Uzi Beer, a member of our Judaic Studies faculty, shared his personal experiences in Tzahal.

An inspiring visual montage (designed specifically for this program) Our Tzahal Soldiers: A Look From Within, as well as a montage of Tzachi, both gave us a glimpse into the lives of our courageous IDF soldiers.
