Help Celebrate Three Lives with Three Sports
Rabbi Dr. Zev Zahavy z"l
In memory of my father Rabbi Dr. Zev Zahavy please consider donating to help Victims of Terror via this link: www.zahavy.org
My son Yitz says, "This year I will dedicate my race to my grandfather Rabbi Dr. Zev Zahavy of blessed memory. He passed away on May 1 at the age of 93. He was a great swimmer, biker and runner; he was a triathlete before there were triathlons. He was a strong supporter of my efforts to raise awareness for victims of terror in Israel. Thank you Saba you will be missed."
Yitz Tells What happened
On October 27, 2002 my platoon in the IDF was attacked by a hamas suicide bomber outside the city of Ariel. Three soldiers, Amihud Hasid, Tamir Masad and Matan Zagron, where killed saving my life and the lives of my fellow soldiers. The One Family Fund is helping their families cope with the difficulties of life without their loved ones.
Philadelphia Triathlon
On June 24th, to celebrate the lives of the three brave Israeli soldiers who saved my life, I will compete in the Philadelphia Triathlon. I will swim, bike and run to raise money for their families and for other families who lost their loved ones to acts of terror.
Helping Out
Please help support victims of terror and their families by donating as much as your can.
Please check out the story about my fundraising efforts last year in the Jewish Standard.
The Goal
This year my goal is to raise $5000.00, that is $1666.66 for each man who saved my life.
The One Family Fund
The One Family Fund is at the side of Israel's terror victims – be they civilians or soldiers- from the moment of an attack through the many years of recovery. OneFamily provides victims and their families with the emotional, financial, legal and material assistance they need to rebuild their shattered lives. Through hospital visits, camps, retreats, holiday programs and one-on-one assistance, OneFamily is helping more than 2400 families.
