Originally the initiative of the Kesher Lanetsah committee chaired by Laurent Amram, was to dedicate 75 Sifre Torah to the 75 military and civilian victims of "Operation Protective Edge" and thus perpetuate the memory of these victims along with the three young teenagers whose lives were lost.

  

Throughout the year many donors and volunteers answered the call for contributions from destinations as diverse as Montreal, Toronto, Florida, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Chile, Mexico, Egypt, Brazil, Venezuela, Spain, Morocco, South Africa and Israel as well as associations such as Yad Lebanim, Libi, FIDF and many more.

 

Each soldier, IDF fighter, police and secret agent not only fights for the security of Israel's residents, but for all Jews around the world, so that everyone can be proud of their identity and live safely in whatever country they are.

 

Under the Yad Lebanim organization, these Sifré Torah are destined for synagogues in Israel affiliated with communities, institutions or organizations that have expressed a need for them.

 

The main ceremony will take place at the Kotel Wednesday, August 12, in the presence of Prime Minister B. Netanyahu, the President R.Rivlin, the Chief of Staff G. Eizengot, the chief rabbi of Israel Harav Yosef Itzchak Shlita, the Rav Rabbi Harav Harachi David Lau, the president of France Libi, Gladys Tibi, the president of Canada Libi, Ralph Benatar, the bereaved families and dignitaries and many other representatives of the government and army.
