The "Recipe with a Memory" initiative, established in 2015, offers a unique way to commemorate fallen soldiers and victims of terror by sharing their favorite recipes. The project aims to connect people globally with the stories of the fallen through the tastes they loved, fostering personal and emotional connections.
Mai Naim, who was killed at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, at the age of 24, is remembered by her family through her grandmother Leah's apple cake recipe. Mai, described as a unifying force in her military service with the Duvdevan unit, was born on December 20, 1998. Her family recalls her as a giving and helpful individual.
The "Recipe with a Memory" website serves as a living digital cookbook, featuring recipes, personal stories, and activity plans for groups and educational institutions. This allows meals to become opportunities for remembrance and commemoration.
Recently, a personal commemoration box was launched, containing ingredients for a dish inspired by a fallen soldier's taste, a memorial candle, and a card with their life story. These kosher boxes, assembled by volunteers, support the organization's activities and provide comfort to bereaved families. Proceeds from sales are dedicated to continuing the initiative and supporting these families.
Bereaved families are encouraged to share their loved ones' recipes to become part of this ongoing memorial project, allowing others to connect with the stories of the fallen through home cooking.
