Seniors at the Jennie Sapirstein High School for Girls in Ramot planted “Michal’s Grove” in the President’s Forest, Jerusalem, to honor and remember their friend Michal Raziel, who was killed in the Sbarro’s Pizza attack in Jerusalem two years ago. “Michal would have graduated with them this year,” says school counselor Ita Munitz. “The students wanted to create something tangible in her memory; something that they could return to over the years from a perspective of growth, faith and hope.”
