Rabbi Mark’s daughter, Orit, an active member of Im Tirtzu’s Youth Division, participated in the conference.
The conference was held at the Uri Zvi Greenberg House in Jerusalem, and was dedicated to the contributions of Rabbi Mark to the Jewish people. The conference also recapped a year’s worth of the achievements of the Youth Division, which is comprised of dozens of pre-army youths. Among the speakers was Im Tirtzu founder Dr. Ronen Shoval.
Orit Mark said that holding the conference in memory of her father specifically at this time was very touching, and that she hopes his memory will continue to have a positive impact on all the Jewish people.
Roi Shtrasberg, head of the Youth Division, noted that the conference represents a peak for the Youth Division: “I am glad to see how much the Youth Division has grown, and how more and more youth are happy to take part in these amazing Zionist activities. They are proof that if we will it, it is no dream and we can do so much for the people of Israel and the State of Israel.”
Im Tirtzu CEO Matan Peleg spoke of the importance of the nation’s youth: “The future of the Jewish people depends on the quality of its youth. We often hear that today’s youth lack values, but every day we see dozens of teens who are putting everything else aside and are dedicating their time and effort to helping the Jewish people.”
“Im Tirtzu will continue to develop the future leaders of the Jewish people who are not afraid to stand up for their values and their belief in Zionism and the State of Israel,” Peleg continued. “We are seeing in front of our eyes the development of the future leaders of the Zionist enterprise and the continuation of the amazing history of the Jewish people. The new torch bearers of Herzl are already here.”
