Wings of Hope Lookout – Mitzpor Kanfei Ruach

Background

Since October 7, 2023, the city of Ariel has suffered the loss of six beloved residents – soldiers and civilians who gave their lives during the “Iron Swords” War.

To ensure their memory lives on, we are creating the Wings of Hope Lookout – Mitzpor Kanfei Ruach: a place where their families, fellow residents, and visitors can gather, reflect, and remember.

But this site will be more than a memorial. It will also be a welcoming space where people can sit, relax, and enjoy time with family and friends – a place that combines remembrance with life, togetherness, and hope.

• Why This Project Matters

  Beyond memory, the lookout will be a warm and inviting place to gather, enjoy the view, and strengthen bonds with family and friends.
• A Local Landmark
  The site will enrich Ariel’s cultural and emotional identity, becoming a meaningful point of interest for visitors.
