What an honor it was to host in our office recently.
We walked her through our shelves, our artifacts, and the history that shaped Gefen.

Here she is photographing a portrait of our founder, Murray Greenfield z”l, together with the Hatikvah crew in Cyprus, part of Aliyah Bet, the underground effort (1934–1948) that brought Holocaust survivors and Jewish refugees to Israel despite British restrictions.

(From left) Hugh McDonald, Sam Gordon, Harold Katz, Joe Gilden, and Murray himself.
These brave crews risked their lives to bring Jews home, even when their ships were stopped and passengers detained in Cyprus camps.

Want to check out our office and learn its history? Our door is always open (during normal business hours 😂)! Come visit us anytime! 💙📚

Grateful for this visit 💙

Mona May: the first female US chess champion ♟️And yes, she was Jewish 💅

Mona grew up in Tel Aviv🇮🇱, pretending she “didn’t like” chess because girls weren’t expected to play. But her father believed in her, and that was all she needed.

She kept playing. She kept winning.
And in 1938, she became the first female chess champion of the US, proving that the board doesn’t need a king when it already has a queen👑♟️

It was an honor to meet Eric Adams, Mayor of New York 🇺🇸
Ilan presented him with the book: And Every Single One Was Someone, a powerful work containing the word “Jew” written 6 million times.

As time goes by, it becomes our responsibility to ensure the world continues to learn, study, and remember the atrocities of the Holocaust.
We cannot allow it to become a taboo topic, minimized, or forgotten. It is a human tragedy, and we must work even harder to honor those who suffered.

We carry that mission with pride.
Pride in our identity, our history, and our faith.
We are here. We will continue to be here.
And that is our victory✡️
