As part of the event, the families adopted the fighters and gave them pairs of tefillin as gifts. For a long hour, each fighter approached a resident who had bought tefillin for him and received the precious gift with excitement.

The righteous Gaon, Chacham Nissim Ben Shimon, who honored the event with his presence, spoke congratulations on the importance of the mitzvah of tefillin to protect the fighters in their important mission, and thanked them for their dedication to their sensitive and important role. Chacham Ben Shimon also warmly congratulated the host and initiator, Rabbi Bistritzky, for his many actions to bring people closer and unite.
The pleasant event was voiced by singer Lior Narkiss, also a resident of the community, who also shouted "Shema Yisrael" with devotion and singing with the soldiers.
