This Year's Avihu Keinan Chai Memorial Hike

That first year was totally amazing.  Moshe Keinan, Avihu's father, pledged at the shortened because of Rosh Hashanna shiva to march to the President of the State of Israel in Jerusalem and demand a meeting to protest that his son was endangered and killed because of a perverse "morality" that the safety of Arab civilians was more important than the safety of our Israeli soldiers.

Moshe, no youngster, grabbed an Israeli Flag and marched the entire route from Shiloh to the President's Official Residence.  A succah was set up and he held court for the entire week of Succot.  A wide variety of public officials and ordinary citizens visited to talk to him and show their support.  And yes, he was invited to meet then President Moshe Katzav.

This year the march will be on the Sunday during Chol Hamoed Succot.  It will be a full-day hike.  For details contact Orit.
