the legacy library - Yeshivat Herzliya

Living Legacy Project

a tribute of Torah, courage, & eternity.

These past two years have been marked by pain –
and by extraordinary courage.
We’ve witnessed true heroism from soldiers who stood on the front line for Am Yisrael and gave everything.
Now, you can help their light continue to shine –
through Torah, learning, and life.

Dedicate a bookcase in their memory.
Keep their legacy alive.

How It Works

Who they are:

Soldiers who fell on or after October 7th - including heroes from Herzliya and others personally connected to the Yeshiva.

How they are remembered:

Each hero will have a Torah-filled bookcase, bearing his name, photo, story, and a dedication from the donor.

A living tribute:

This is not only a place of remembrance - it’s a place of Torah & life. Every day, as students learn, their memory continues to live and inspire.
