The first light is waiting for you.
We do it for Maran.
Maran gave his entire life to the Jewish people — to every home, every question, every Jew. On the night of his hilula, it's our turn to give back.
Any gathering in his memory is a hilula
- A minyan and a shiur in the synagogue
- A meal with the family
- A class in the living room with neighbours
- Tehillim with friends
- A siyum for his soul's elevation
- A community learning evening
No hall, no production. Just you.
A token of appreciation for hosts
‘Yosef’ — one of a thousand
A special edition of 1,000 numbered bottles of wine was made in honour of this project. Every hilula host receives one bottle — bearing the number of their hilula.
