We, the Weizmann Institute of Science community, deeply mourn the passing of Prof. Zelig Eshhar of the Department of Immunology and Regenerative Biology.
Prof. Eshhar was a trailblazing scientist in the field of cancer immunotherapy, a recipient of the Israel Prize in Life Science, and an acclaimed researcher who dedicated his life to life-saving research. May he rest in peace.

🌿 Rebuilding Kibbutz Holit: A Community Effort 🌿

It’s hard to remain indifferent when witnessing the impact of MOLET’s beautifully crafted wooden furniture now finding its way to the new homes of the Kibbutz Holit community. In collaboration with multiple teams from various companies, this initiative has brought essential pieces—low seating areas, sofas, picnic tables, planters, and large storage boxes—into their lives as they transition to a new neighborhood in Kibbutz Revivim, which was previously unfurnished.

At YEDA, we’re proud to have contributed to this meaningful project by crafting large wooden storage boxes to serve the needs of the community. It has been an honor to volunteer and help make a difference for the families of Holit.

We hope this initiative brings comfort and warmth to their new beginning. 🤝
