On June 15-17, 2023, Thursday-Saturday, the Givati Families Weekend was held at the
Yearim Hotel, Ma’ale Hahamisha
The getaway is the result of many years of development between the Givati Brigade,
the Givati Family Association, and the Givati Brigade Association. This is a particularly
exciting event that has been held every year since 1991 at the initiative of Maj. Gen.
(res.) Yom Tov Samia.
The event is part of strengthening the continuous bond between Givati Brigade and the
bereaved families.
For the families, it is an opportunity to unwind by participating in a fun event dedicated
to bringing them happiness, and includes, among other things, a rich program with a
variety of shows, lectures, and tours.
