A Lifeline for Reservists
Yuval Silber’s life was defined by service, leadership, and a deep commitment to empowering others. His dedication to his country led him to return from Thailand when the war broke out, even before being officially called for reserve duty. Humbling himself to serve in a front-line battalion, Yuval was killed in action on November 1, 2023.
In memory of Yuval, his friends and family established the Yuval Loan Track. The fund provides interest-free loans up to $12,000 to help reservists facing financial hardship during their service. This track is a testament to Yuval’s belief in empowering others and creating lasting change
