Naaleh was honored to welcome Rabbi Doron Perez, Executive Chairman of World Mizrachi, who spoke movingly about his son, Captain Daniel Perez, Hashem Yikom Damo, a fallen hostage in Gaza. Rabbi Perez shared Daniel’s journey from a spirited, self-focused teen to a young man who lived by the words Im lo ani, az mi?—“If not me, then who?” He inspired everyone with stories of Daniel’s heroism, legacy and the strength of their family. Rabbi Perez also encouraged students to get involved in Israel’s future through voting and advocacy via the World Orthodox Israel Coalition.
