The Natan Rosenfeld Fund is a new initiative of World Bnei Akiva, established in loving memory of Natan Rosenfeld z״l. The fund is dedicated to subsidising chanichim so they may participate in a Hachshara Gap Year - a transformative year of growth, learning, leadership development, and preparation, just as Natan experienced prior to his enlistment in the Israel Defense Forces.

Through this initiative, Natan’s legacy will continue to shape the lives of young Jewish leaders. Participants supported by the fund will have the opportunity to spend a meaningful year in Israel, deepen their knowledge and skills, strengthen their connection to Jewish values and Zionism, and engage in experiences that foster personal development and lifelong friendships.

 

In Natan’s memory, the fund seeks to ensure that future chanichim can embark on a journey filled with purpose, inspiration, and joy - carrying forward the warmth, positivity, and unmistakable smile that Natan shared so generously throughout his life.
