Ahead of Israel's national Aliyah Day, a poignant memorial event will be held to honor the memory of 96 immigrant soldiers and security personnel who fell during the "Swords of Iron" War. The ceremony, to be held in the presence of the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, will pay tribute to the ultimate sacrifice made by these "heroes of Aliyah."
The 96 fallen, who hailed from diverse countries worldwide, embody the core legacy of immigration to Israel. Some were newcomers who arrived in recent years, while others made Aliyah decades ago; all shared a deep commitment to the State of Israel.
Memorial Book and New Sticker Initiative
During the event, the bereaved families will be presented with a unique memorial book, meticulously compiling the life stories of the fallen. Each fallen soldier receives a dedicated page featuring their biography, military service, family statements, a personal quote, and a QR code linking to their online memorial page on the "Olim Brotherhood" website.
In a new initiative, the "Million Lobby" organization recognized a lack of dedicated memorial stickers for fallen immigrant soldiers, despite the widespread practice of commemorative stickers in Israel since the war began.
In response, the organization initiated the production of 74 personalized memorial stickers, corresponding to the individuals featured in the memorial book.
The unique vertical stickers include the fallen soldier's photograph, a characteristic quote, and the QR code linking to their online memorial page. The stickers will be distributed to families and friends with the aim of widely publicizing the memory of their loved ones to the public.
