A legacy of mutual responsibility
Inspired by tragic loss, created with every family in mind.
In 2021, Yanai Rimon, a young Israeli traveling in Mexico, drowned in a tragic accident. His family and friends mobilized an extraordinary personal network of dedicated volunteers and professionals to assist in the search. In the midst of their grief, they recognized a painful truth: not every family has access to such a rich network of gifted volunteers.
The Rimon family made a choice: the capable friends, professionals and operational know-how that had supported them, should be available to every Jewish and Israeli family facing crisis abroad. In Yanai's memory, they helped establish a structured, professional rescue network. That network became Haverim Mehalzim.
"Whoever saves one life, it is as if they saved an entire world."
