For his Mitzvah Project, Jacob Coblin is working with a local artist, Miran Elbakyan, to create a sculpture for Temple Sholom using hostage bracelets that will be softened, reshaped and incorporated into a metal treeconnected to Jacob’s Ladder. The ladder has broken rungs at the bottom representing the loss andtragedy; at the top they are sturdy, representing healing and hope. The tree symbolizes survivorsand our community emerging from the tragedy and growing stronger together.

Help Raise $5,000 for the sculpture and its installation at Temple Sholom. Any excess funds raised will be donated to help rebuild Kibbutz Nahal Oz, which was hard hit on October 7.
