Masa Israel Commemorates Israel's Fallen on Yom Hazikaron

Masa Israel Commemorates Israel's Fallen on Yom Hazikaron

April 15, 2013

Last night, Masa held a moving Yom HaZikaron ceremony for over 4,000 of its participants at the historic site of Latrun. Together, we honored Israel's fallen.
Speaking to 5,000 Masa Israel Journey participants at a Remembrance Day for Fallen Soldiers ceremony, Chairman of The Jewish Agency for Israel Natan Sharansky said, "While in the Soviet prison, … I thought about the three Israeli sportsmen who had visited Russia and had bravely met with us. They told us that Israel was a place of great joy."
 
"I later heard that one of the three was killed in the Yom Kippur war. But, mostly I thought about Yoni Netanyahu. The fact that the State of Israel was prepared to send its soldiers to rescue Jews all over the world gave me great strength. Yoni was 29 when he was killed and was 29 when I was arrested. Every time that I felt that I didn’t have the strength to keep resisting the authorities, I thought about Yoni Netanyahu and it gave me the strength to keep going."
 
 
Minister of Econonmy Naftali Bennett also addressed the participants:

Program Description

LaMidbar is a five-month post-college program in Kibbutz Neot Semadar, an oasis nestled amongst the impressive desert mountains of the Negev. 
 
Participants will experience community kibbutz living; join a kibbutz work team: herding goats, making cheese, growing vegetables, pruning orchards, harvesting dates, or working with wood, metal or glass in the Art Center; work together on a desert ecological building project; discuss, observe, reflect, and more.

Highlights

- Immersion in a unique community 
- The inspiring desert atmosphere of the Negev
- Focus on reflection and personal learning from your experiences
- Ecological building in desert conditions
- Learn a practical, hands-on skill (organic agriculture, goat herding, cheese-making, natural materials)
 
The kibbutz offers significant additional scholarships in order to make this program affordable for participants.

My Typical Day With Saving the Stones

<div class="masa-blog-title">My Typical Day With Saving the Stones</div>

Officially, our days usually start around 8:30am, unless we have commitments further out of down which requires getting up earlier. However, wake-up is somewhere between 7 and 8 for us, when we hop (or stumble) out of bed, gather around the electric kettle, and assemble breakfast and lunch.
 
 
We have intensive Hebrew instruction, or Ulpan, twice a week at 8:30.
