It was a solemn but meaningful Yom Hazikaron today at TDSA. The Middle School boys and girls each had their own Tekes Yom Hazikaron where they commemorated the sacrifice of the Chayalim in the IDF and honored those who have fallen to keep Am Yisrael safe and secure. Both the boys and girls watched a video explaining the importance of Yom Hazikaron to tomorrow's Yom HaAtzmaut celebrations. They then recited a Mi-Sheberach in honor of the soldiers of the IDF and Yizkor for those who have fallen in battle and due to terror. They continued with a moving rendition of Hatikva and the recitation of a perek of Tehillim for the safety of Am Yisroel The Tekes concluded with a moving testimonial by Mrs. Marcy Kalnitz, who shared her memories of Dekel Swissa, a brave IDF captain and friend of the Kalntiz family, who died protecting other chayalim on October 7th.
