On October 7, the Kutz family, Aviv, Jonatan, Rotem, Yiftach and Livnat were murdered by Hamas terrorists in their home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza.

At just 16 and 14 years old, the two brothers, Jonathan and Yiftach, were coaching basketball at Hapoel Tel Aviv's basketball academy. That's why, in their honor, a group of family members are launching a crowdfunding campaign to transform a basketball court into an educational space to honor their memory.

The project includes the complete renovation of the Green Village School field. The field will become a symbol of achievement, community, and values. In addition, scholarships will be awarded in its name to children from disadvantaged communities.

The initiative, launched on March 13, what would have been Jonathan Kutz's birthday, has raised more than 500.000 shekels in its first three days, and there are still two weeks left to reach the final goal. Businesses, organizations, and citizens have joined with donations and logistical support.
