This Yom HaAtsmaut, Lori Palatnik Pays Tribute to Moms’ Crucial Role During Pandemic
Last night, like every year, we Weisbergs sat around watching the annual official torch-lighting ceremony that kicks off Israel’s Independence Day. Every year, 12 people who made a remarkable contribution to Israel and the Jewish world are chosen to light torches. We Weisbergs don’t discriminate, we cheer for all 12. But we cheered extra loud for a personal hero of mine, Lori Palatnik, founder of Momentum, a Birthright-style program that has brought over 20,000 mothers to Israel, dramatically strengthening their connection with Judaism, the Jewish people, and Israel. Go, Lori, go!
