Empowering the LGBTQ community has always been intuitive and natural for our Israeli community. The unsettling dynamic of this war reminds us how grateful we are to live in a democracy that gives us the freedom to be who we are while feeling safe and loved. The power of the LGBTQ community continues to bring radical inclusivity into the tech industry — enabling, pushing and inspiring innovation in every facet. This pride month we are extra PROUD to stand for love, democracy, progress and freedom! 🏳️🌈 💛 #pride #freedom #democracy

יום הזיכרון ויום העצמאות לובשים השנה תחושה, נראות וגוון שונים. ה-7 באוקטובר עדיין נמשך, 218 ימים למניינו, הוסיף כ-1600 אישה ואיש למשפחת השכול, ומזכיר ביתר שאת עד כמה עצמאותנו אינה מובנת מאליה. הערבוב השנה של גאוות עצמאות עם אובדן ואבל מרגיש בלתי אפשרי יותר משנים קודמות. פרוייקט "אבנים עם לב אדם" הרגיש לנו דרך מדוייקת לציין את יום הזכרון השנה. הפרוייקט פועל לחיזוק תחושת שותפות הגורל של כולנו, ושם לעצמו למטרה יצירת סולידריות עם המשפחות השכולות אשר נבצר מהן להגיע באותה התקופה לקברי יקיריהן. מתנדבים יוצרים הקדשות אישיות על אבנים שיונחו על קברי החללים בבתי העלמין ברחבי הארץ. ”יש אנשים עם לב של אבן, יש אבנים עם לב אדם" (יוסי גמזו/דובי זלצר) נאחל לכולם ימים טובים, שקטים ובטוחים. יהי זכר כל הנופלות והנופלים ברוך 🇮🇱❤️🩹🎗️
