Wow, what an exciting week!
Laya, our incredible Museum founder, started the week with an inspiring trip to the Nas Daily Summit in Tel Aviv. The energy and ideas were truly electrifying and networking brought us new friends! Even Nusier Yassin (AKA Nas Daily) is now familiar with our work!. The next day, our museum's management team headed to Haifa for the prestigious Harvey Awards ceremony honoring Nobel laureate Dr. Drew Weissman. Dr. Weissman and his wife, Dr. Mary Ellen, are steadfast supporters of our museum. The Weissmans are not just dear friends but also visionary philanthropists dedicated to positively impacting the world. But that's not all! We also had a luncheon with the Weissmans, our award-winning architect David Knafo, and some board members, including Dr. Eli Kalfon, a cardiologist at Naharia Hospital. The excitement was palpable as we talked all about our vision and plans for the future. Our CEO, Eli Moskovitz, serving in the IDF reserves since the war broke out, joined a tour with other highly decorated reserve officers at the Nova site and other places that were attacked on October 7th, showing our unwavering support and commitment to those communities. We are passionately networking, building, and reaching out to private donors, foundations, and some business people to create the future Children's Museum of the Galilee. Together, we are making dreams come true! Stay tuned for more updates on this incredible journey. In the meantime, do you have friends who would consider becoming part of our community to impact the lives of kids in Northern Israel? Please reach out to us to set up a short Zoom call and hear firsthand about the mobile unit. With the hard times facing so many, we can look to the message of the new moon (and new month on the Hebrew calendar). We only see a sliver of light. So much is concealed. But we know for sure that the whole moon is there even when we don’t see it. And we know it will shine fully again. As we say in Hebrew, “Chodesh tov.” May it be a time of renewal and light.
