My name is Arielle Well. If you know me, you know I served as a lone soldier in the IDF. I’ve never asked for money before and honestly, it’s not something I feel comfortable doing. But this time is different. About 30 days ago, my friend Neta was killed in combat in Gaza while protecting Israel. And now, in his memory, we’re raising money to build something beautiful- a large deck and sitting area on the side of a mountain, with a view that stretches out across the Judean Hills. A place where people can come together, sit, talk, laugh, and just be close. The kind of place Neta would’ve loved.

Neta’s love for Israel ran deep. It wasn’t just about serving in the army, it was something much bigger than that. He felt a real, living connection to the land itself. It was his home, purpose, and pride. He believed strongly in protecting this land, not out of duty, but out of love. He knew exactly what he was fighting for, and he gave everything for it. That deep love for ארץ ישראל is something that shaped who he was, and it’s something we want this place to hold onto forever.

Neta grew up in a דתי לאומי home, surrounded by a strong family, tradition, and love. From a young age, he had a unique light about him. He was always the one making people laugh, no matter how tough things got. During the most difficult days of training in the army, when everyone else was falling apart, Neta was the one cracking a joke, lifting the mood, making sure no one felt alone. Not only was he funny, but he was extremely brave and motivated. His dream was to get into Yamas, an elite undercover unit in the IDF, and he made it. He gave everything to be there and live his dream. He fought with courage, heart, and purpose, and he gave his life doing what he believed in most.

Now we want to build something for him. A space that reflects everything he stood for- friendship, connection, and love for the land. A place where people can come together and feel close to each other, and to Neta. Please help us build this place in his name, overlooking the hills he loved, filled with the happiness and laughter he brought to so many people. Every dollar will be appreciated and put toward this cause.
