Mazal Tov Ariel Feig! 
Ariel is the son of Hadas & Ze'ev Feig, and big brother to Eitan and Eva. He is in 7th grade and currently attends American Heritage where he is an honor roll student. Ariel competes in his school's speech and debate team for the past two years.
 
At the age of 4 Ariel decided that he wanted to be a vegetarian since he did not want to hurt animals. Protecting

animals and the environment are two very important causes to Ariel. While he loves all animals, his favorite is the turtle, and his two pet pugs, Chilli and Pepper.
 
Ariel likes basketball, tennis, and most of all video games. He likes to read books, plays the piano, and has a passion for the arts. He is a sensitive and caring young man who is always looking to make his family and friends happy. Ariel is creative and a very curious person who always likes to ask questions and learn new things. 
 
This past summer, Ariel attended Camp Judea for the third straight time. He has visited Israel numerous times including this past summer.  Ariel takes part in a number of activities related to Israel at the MAR-JCC which include Tzofim (Israeli Scouts) and is a member of Team Israel as part of the Maccabi Games.
 
We love Ariel very much and are happy he is carrying the traditions of our people.

We the People and Nation of Israel mourn the murder of
Noa Lazar, age 18
Ido Baruch, age 21

Noa, from Kfar Yona, was a border policewoman of the Erez Battalion. She was killed in a terror attack at the Shuafat checkpoint last Saturday night. She was known as a feisty girl, full of spunk and vitality. Noa always had a smile on her face, loved to laugh, took life calmly and loved what she was doing, loved all of her friends.

Ido, from Gadera, was killed in a terrorist drive-by shooting near the community of Shavei Shomron in Samaria. He was a member of the Givati infantry’s Brigade Reconnaissance Unit.  Ido was remembered by teachers and friends as a “magical child full of love, values and generosity.” He could make any child happy when he played with them. Ido always volunteered for missions and was always socially active with an abundance of friends.
