The students of "Atid" Technological High School in Kiryat Motzkin, together with the school's faculty, created an educational, exciting and special monument to mark the Shabbat events in October.
The goal: to commemorate the victims of the massacre in the south, to raise awareness of the abductees who are still in captivity in Gaza, and also to integrate the message of the revival of the Jewish people - a beacon of resurrection.

The monument is made of clothes, shoes, dolls and accessories, dipped in cement and shiny black tar.
The students put the clothes together in the form of family figures, but without faces or bodies, to emphasize the lack of the abductees or the families that did not survive the inferno.
"We named the memorial "Takuma", which for us symbolizes the resurgence of the Jewish people after wars and disasters and also refers to the Takuma area, the new name of the surrounding settlements area," said the director of Atid Kiryat Motzkin Technological High School, Ehud Ben Gera.
According to him, "the Israeli flag is part of the monument, with the colors blue and white expressing the great hope and mutual guarantee of the residents of the State of Israel."

The construction of the monument is part of many volunteering activities of the students for the evacuees, the soldiers and families, aid to agriculture and more.
The monument, which will serve as a central focal point for ceremonies at the school, is located in a central place in the school and is illuminated even at night, so that it can be seen through the fence, in the public space.
CEO of the "Atid" network, Yossi Memo: "The "Atid" educational network is very active in volunteer activities following the war and commemorates the events of the inferno in different ways, with the message being that despite everything, the nation of Israel grows in the most difficult moments.
Congratulations to the faculty and the dear students." The ceremony will take place today (Tuesday, 6.2.24) in the presence of the mayor Mr. Haim Tzuri and senior officials of the Ministry of Education.
