Honoring the Fallen: AACI Hosts Memorial Ceremony for Fallen IDF Soldiers and Victims of Terror from North America in Partnership with KKL-JNF

The Association of American and Canadian Immigrants (AACI), in collaboration with Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund, solemnly conducted its annual memorial ceremony today to honor the fallen IDF soldiers and victims of terror who immigrated from North America. The moving event took place at the Sha'ar HaGai memorial site.

In attendance were members of bereaved families, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jacob Lu, Jewish Agency Chairman Doron Almog, Director of Fundraising Department in KKL-JNF Michael Ben Abu, representative from the Canadian Embassy Michael Mancini, and esteemed guests.

The memorial site serves as a heartfelt tribute to over 400 fallen IDF soldiers and victims of terror from the United States and Canada, whose sacrifices began with the Battle of Tel Hai. This year, amidst the ongoing Iron Sword War, 77 additional names have been engraved onto the memorial wall, ensuring their enduring remembrance.
