The magnificent memorial is in honour of the 87 South Africans who emigrated to Israel and later fell, defending that country. Work on the memorial began this week.

The memorial will feature the names of each of the 87 and will be officially dedicated on Yom Hazikaron which falls on May 11.

Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein, the heads of the SAJBD and the head of the SAZF will be attending, as well as other members of the Jewish community, says Freeman, and he encourages as many among the SA Jewish community as possible to join them at the event.
