Her friend Fogel, one of the forty-five victims of the Meron disaster, was 22 when he was killed leaving behind family and friends stunned.
At the funeral and during the Shiva days, members of the Fogel family were surprised when people from all walks of Israeli society came to comfort them.
It turned out that her friends used to go out every Friday to crowded places in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, and offer passers-by to put on tefillin.
In this way her friends made acquaintance with a wide variety of people and made friendships with them.
Following the activities of Yedidya that brought hearts together, family and friends wanted to mark the birthday of the late Yedidya, which will take place this coming Friday, October 22, in a unique way: through social media, they call on the general public to put on tefillin, photograph themselves and upload the photo to social media. With the tag "#Put a moment".
A project in his memory.

Adam Khoury, one of her friends' friends, explained: "We thought that instead of being preoccupied with our own personal sadness, we should do something positive and happy so that all the people of Israel would attend its birthday."
Celebrities such as artist Shuli Rand and others have joined the project, uploading videos to the public calling on the public to join the project in memory of her friends.
The Fogel family and friends hope that as many people as possible will join the venture, put on tefillin in his memory, upload their photos to social media and tag the project.
