In Honor of My Grandfather - Israel Burgida

Aidan Burgida

Aidan Burgida

Hi,

To honor my grandfather's memory and his amazing life accomplishments, I am embarking on a mission to plant as many trees as possible in Israel.
My grandfather escaped the Holocaust on an orphan boat by assuming another child's identity that had been killed. He arrived in Israel in 1941, and shortly thereafter, joined the Haganah/Palmach and fought for its independence. I am looking to honor his memory for the sacrifices he made for us. Please join in my effort and donate to the Jewish National Fund (JNF) by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends.

Together, we can make a difference!

Thanks for your support.

Aidan Burgida
