The Story
On October 7th, 2023, soldiers across all of Israel answered the call to defend our homeland. These brave and courageous soldiers put their lives on hold for our safety and freedom, leaving behind families, friends, homes, and dreams to protect us. Our “chayalim” are specially dear to me because my brother is also a soldier, embodying the commitment and dedication that this project honors.
Tragically, many of those who were called to serve since the beginning of the war never returned home, leaving their families and their futures shattered. These heart-wrenching losses remind us daily of the immense cost of our freedom. Every day, our soldiers stand on the front lines, risking everything so that we can live in peace.
We must not forget those who continue to fight and remember our fallen heroes-those who gave their lives so that we could continue to live ours. Soldiers with families, with dreams of their own, whose lives were cut short. We must keep their memories in our hearts and minds to ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.
The Project
Our project is dedicated to creating hoodies that honor the memories of our fallen soldiers and heroes. Each handmade hoodie carries a unique story, celebrating the life and service of those who fell bravely in battle. Through our designs, we offer a meaningful way to cherish their memories and recognize their sacrifices for our freedom.
All of the proceeds from the sale of our hoodies will support our soldiers through the FIDF. For every purchase, we will make a $54 donation in the name of a fallen soldier. Join us in honoring their legacy by wearing these hoodies and sharing their stories with others.
The Hoodie
The name of a fallen soldier is embroidered on the left arm of the hoodie. The same arm we use for wrapping the tefillin-symbolic of the connection to one’s heart.
The thread color reflects the soldier's unit, paying tribute to their service and the fellow soldiers they stood beside.
On the back of the hoodie, the word “חי” is embroidered as a powerful reminder that our soldiers gave their lives for our freedom. This symbol stands not only as a testament to their sacrifice but also as a call to honor their memory by living fully and upholding our Jewish identity. Their bravery ensures our future, and it is our duty to carry that responsibility forward.
