Student Union Leads Faculty Ceremony for Yom HaZikaron (Memorial Day for Israel's Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Hostile Acts)

The Azrieli Faculty of Medicine today commemorated the Israeli Memorial Day for Israel's Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Hostile Acts. Yom Hazikaron falls this year on May 4, 2022.

The Faculty Student Union prepared a moving ceremony that was held in the Esther & Haim Carasso Auditorium, as well as broadcast via Zoom.

After reciting the "Yizkor" and "El Maleh Rahamim" prayers, students presented short biographies of soldiers who had fallen:

סמ"ר ליאל גדעוני ז"ל

סמ"ר ראובן מגן ז"ל

סגן הילה בצלאל ז"ל

סגן משנה בר רהב ז"ל

סמ"ר טוביה ינאי ויסמן ז"ל

רב סמל מתקדם יוסף (יוסי) קירמה ז"ל

סמ"ר יקיר שושי ז"ל

The ceremony included short musical interludes by students as well as the reading of written pieces by known authors Natan Yonatan, Avraham Halfi, and Nathan Alterman.

The Dean, Prof. Karl Skorecki, shared a few thoughtful words, and the ceremony concluded with the singing of the national anthem, HaTikvah.

יהי זכרם ברוך may their memories be for a blessing.
