The monument to the fallen
The audience stood and mourned in silence for an hour and a half. It was quiet and sadder than ever. The ceremony at the memorial square for the fallen from the Bat Galim neighborhood. A square that on a daily basis cannot be singled out, tonight it was shrouded in holiness: in honor of the Remembrance Day ceremony, hundreds of white chairs were placed, lighting illuminated the monument to the fallen with crimson light. A screen displayed the falling images. Flags and a torch were placed at the front of the stage.

Two comments:
How important is the community work that Inbal carries out under the leadership of the community center: you could feel the feeling of a neighborhood, of belonging, of shared destiny, this year more than ever. Most of the participants were residents of the neighborhood. Both in the audience and on stage.
It is a pity that due to a state decision, monuments to the memory of civilians, who fall in hostilities, will be erected only at the site where they fell, it will not be possible to engrave their names on the monument in Bat Galim. But, the moderator added, "we remember them and will honor their memory in the Bat Galim neighborhood, and we will mention their names in one list of all the fallen wherever they are."
It is very important to choose residents who will cooperate with the establishment... from the community center...
Having communication skills…..social…..
Good luck to those who do the craft…….
My name is Ayla Or Appleboim and I am the orphan of Sergeant Moshe Appleboim who appears in the memorial and was killed in the Yom Kippur War.
It's a shame you didn't tell us about the ceremony, we would have been happy to participate.
It is good to hear about a respectable ceremony in Haifa that grieves our fallen heroes and does not eulogize murderous terrorists as in other places.
It looks and sounds like an amazing ceremony.
It's a shame that in Kiryat Eliezer there is no experimenter for his manager to manage.
But there is a community center managed by Karin Alkabats who, together with the representatives of the various schools in the neighborhood and with the help of the Haifa municipality, took care of a dignified ceremony.
Good luck to those who do the work.
may them rest in peace
A really impressive ceremony, and kudos to the community center for the activity.
And thank you Tal, for covering events in the Haifa area and bringing them to our attention :).
