Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s Day of Remembrance, was marked April 29, 2025, with Milwaukee Jewish Federation at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center. This was the Wings of Hope community art project at the event, in memory of the Kutz family from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. As part of an educational program held in February with students from local synagogues, Noa Gerassi, community shlicha, shared the Kutz family’s story during one of the activity stations. She asked the students to color a picture of wings and write a word that reflects the values the Kutz family left behind. Photo by Janet McMillan Photography.
