moshiko Moskowitz, CEO of Nechama and Hatzala for Israel, has been tirelessly supporting soldiers in both northern and southern Israel since October 7th.

Lera was deeply moved and expressed: “Nitai was a hero who inspired all who knew him. This is an exciting and meaningful way to keep his memory alive. I have only one request of my country: ensure that Nitai’s sacrifice was not in vain. We will preserve his memory and make sure no one forgets him.”

Moshiko Moskowitz, CEO of Nechama and Hatzala for Israel, added: “As a reservist since October 7th, I came directly from Gaza to meet Lera and comfort her during this difficult time. After hearing incredible stories about Nitai, I knew it was fitting to honor his memory in a way he would have appreciated—by ensuring another soldier can continue the mission in the safest way possible."

"I promised Lera that we will continue to do everything we can to support our soldiers and keep Nitai’s memory alive.”
