Let’s Learn
From Their Lives
In the weeks leading up to October 7, let your personal growth be inspired by the attributes and values of those who were killed on that day.
Join us for six weeks with a dedicated mentor in sessions inspired by Olami students who were killed on October 7th.
Over the past 9 months, we’ve engaged with the families of those that were killed, compiling powerful personal growth sessions that reflects their lives and values.
This unique opportunity promotes personal, professional, and spiritual growth, while allowing you to share your experiences with the victims’ families, keeping their loved ones’ legacies alive.

Ravid Katz, the man and the legend, is no longer with us.
The amazing father of Shahar, Shira, and Alma will not return. Revital and the girls waited for him for 51 days. 51 days that felt like an eternity. The father who had everything: education and a smile, seriousness and laughter, responsibility and caring, swiftness and love for the land, had been missing since he fought for the country he loved so much until 51 days later, it was learned that he was no longer among the living. A day for every year.
His 51 years were dedicated to creating meaningful experiences for his wife, his daughters, and his students. Ravid was an educator who knew how to connect with children and youth, students and instructors. A man of values and joy of life, who taught and encouraged exploration and questioning, connection and love, laughter and enjoyment of the small things in life. And he is no longer with us. May his memory be a blessing.
