of our students for their dedication and empathy 
in bringing this exhibit to life,” said Daphna 
Feldman, Hebrew Department coordinator 
at Farber. “Their commitment to honoring 
the stories of others exemplifies the values of 
compassion and solidarity that we strive to instill 
in our school community.”
As Yom HaAtzmaut approached, the exhibit 
stood as a powerful reminder of the strength that 
lies within the community and the importance of 
standing together in the face of adversity. Visitors 
were able to reflect on the stories shared within 
the exhibit and to draw inspiration from the 
resilience of the communities represented.
In a world often marked by division and 
discord, the exhibit serves as an icon of hope, 
reminding us all of the power of unity and 
compassion in overcoming even the greatest 
of challenges. As the nation celebrates its 
independence, let us also celebrate the 
indomitable spirit of those who call the south of 
Israel home.
