Teens of the Zoharim Youth Village embarked on an unforgettable journey to Poland, a trip designed to connect them with the painful history of the Jewish people and to inspire them with the resilience and strength that have defined our survival.

In the wake of the horrific events of October 7th, the lessons of Jewish suffering, resilience, and ultimate triumph have taken on even greater meaning. Now, more than ever, we understand the importance of remembering our past while forging a strong and vibrant Jewish future. This trip serves as a profound reminder of what we have endured and what we must continue to build!

One of the most emotional moments of the trip took place at the Children's Forest near the town of Tarnow, Poland—a site of unimaginable tragedy where hundreds of Jewish children were brutally murdered and buried in mass firing pits. 

The teens each received a heartfelt letter from their parents, filled with hopes and dreams for their lives. They paused to read these letters at the site, praying for the souls of the children who were never given the chance to grow up and live out their dreams.

This deeply moving experience is a powerful way to motivate the next generation of Israelis to contribute to society and live as proud Jews in their homeland.

Thank you to everyone who made this journey and dozens of other Migdal Ohr programs possible. Your support enables us to educate, empower, and inspire the next generation!
