Since the October 7th attacks, Israel has seen the establishment of numerous unique memorial sites. One such initiative is a food rescue center named in memory of Carmel Gat, located at one end of the country. At the other end, a coffee cart honors Shila Cohen. The article details a visit to these new "memory paths."
Ayala Noy Meir, Carmel Gat's mother, opened the door to a cold storage room where her daughter Noha was organizing crates of vegetables for delivery. Noy Meir explained that 300 kilograms of vegetables were being prepared for Bedouins in the Jordan Valley. These are surplus items collected from the wholesale market in Haifa.
A sign on the cold storage unit reads, "Sometimes a big change starts with one action." It further elaborates that Carmel and Kineret "did not remain indifferent to injustice. When it was possible to help and change, they acted. Here you have an opportunity to save good agricultural produce from becoming waste and help it reach people who need it."
