Tzvika Kaplan, late of Maneva Shaanan | An evening of singing in his memory - live broadcast in Hai Pa | at 21:00 | Almost 6 years since Tzuk Eitan, 6 years without Tzvika

Almost 6 years since a solid cliff. 6 years without Tzvika and every year we meet hundreds of people who come on the eve of Memorial Day to the "Sing, Remember and Grow" event in memory of Tzvika.

People who come to remember, distinguish and connect.
And like Zvika in his life, we too do not let an obstacle or difficulty hinder us in fulfilling our mission, and our mission on this day is to remember.

And so this year we will also hold the ceremony - we will broadcast it through the association's Facebook page that we set up in his memory "Kach Tzvika" or through the association's YouTube channel.
Attached is a link to both options. We would love to have you with us. Monday 27/04/20 at 21:00 p.m
