Over 6,000 artists commemorated with ceramic hearts the martyrs of the IDF and the victims of hostilities. The artists at Beit HaLochem in Haifa also took part in the national project.
In the last month, I had the privilege of participating in a unique, touching and valuable project, together with my friends in a ceramics workshop at Beit HaLochem in Haifa.

The ceramics workshop is led by the talented teacher and creator Rebecca Dauber, under her guidance we created over a hundred red hearts in memory of the martyrs of Israel's wars and victims of hostilities.
The silence, the gathering inward, the choices in representation, the dedication behind the work, all these added a touch of honor and holiness to all the dear ones that we want to remember every day.
The project "The Heart Remembers" is a national art installation in memory of the martyrs of Israel's systems and the victims of hostilities. As part of the project, more than 27,000 red ceramic hearts were designed (as the number of Israeli martyrs and victims of hostilities) and will be displayed in the run-up to Memorial Day XNUMX, along a long and winding path from outside to inside the Yitzhak Rabin Center for the Study of Israel, in Tel Aviv.
The tens of thousands of hearts were made by their own hands in the last four months by about 6,000 ceramic artists from more than 200 places across the country.
This valuable project expresses the collective Israeli memory through the creative activity of thousands of Israelis, veterans and young people all over the country. Their joint creation - tens of thousands of red hearts, conveys a clear message - the heart remembers!
The "Heart Zocher" project was produced with full volunteerism and with a loving heart by the artist and curator Shlomit Hafer, in recognition and appreciation for the victims of Israel's systems and hostilities and their families.
