Miriam, Jack, and Zury, 20-year-old triplets from Mexico, made aliyah to Israel on their own, driven by a strong sense of Zionism. Two of them are already serving in the IDF: Miriam is finishing her service at Machal Alon on her way to becoming a combat medic in the Medical Corps, and Zury is a helicopter technician. The third, Jack, will soon be enlisting in Machal Alon and is expected to serve in the Navy.
For a long time, the triplets hadn't seen their mother, Reyna. This week, thanks to a Taglit program, Reyna arrived in Israel and was reunited with her triplets at Fiverr's offices. "The moment I hugged them, I felt my heart return to its place. Seeing them mature, develop, and serve the country together is an irreplaceable experience," Reyna shared.
The reunion is part of Taglit's volunteer program, which brings parents of Lone Soldiers to Israel to volunteer for two weeks in various communities across the country. The program allows them to contribute to the community while also meeting with their children who are serving in the IDF. Gidi Mark, CEO of Taglit, said: "Many Lone Soldiers choose to serve the country during a challenging period, after they chose to make aliyah out of a sense of mission. Now, their parents have chosen to follow in their footsteps, if only for a short time, both to contribute to the country and to embrace their children whom they haven't seen for many months."
As part of the series of visits, Taglit collaborates with commercial companies that host the parents and soldiers, including Fiverr, which hosted them together at the company's offices in Tel Aviv. It was an emotional reunion where the parents saw their children for the first time in many months. Shay Goldenberg, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Fiverr, added: "Fiverr and the Colors Foundation are proud to support Taglit's activities and are excited to take part in a reunion that brings together soldiers who made aliyah with their families. Supporting Lone Soldiers is our duty, and it's important to us to ensure that no soldier feels alone. This is our way of expressing our gratitude to those who protect us every day."
