“Do you remember our last decision together? In the safe room, I asked if we should ‘fight or surrender’. You said fight, so I fought." ~ Yarden Bibas at the funeral of his family
Since October 7th, 2023, the Jewish Nation has not stopped thinking about the Bibas family – The youngest hostages just nine months and four years and their parents. All were held captive, Shiri Ariel and Kfir murdered, and Yarden is now free living in this new reality.
Over the past few weeks, we've seen orange everywhere — sunsets, skyscrapers, landmarks and more — an outpouring of bitter mourning for our dear brothers and sisters. Meanwhile, our enemies continue to deny the truth and spread lies. We cannot remain silent.
In 2018, I founded Yonatees to showcase optimism and faith on our everyday person —through apparel, stickers, posters, and more. Our mission has always been to celebrate Jewish heritage in a way that is both playful and inspiring. We don’t see our designs as just products, but reminders — of what we cherish most, found in the most unexpected places.
Today, our reminder is orange. In the wake of the heartbreaking news about the Bibas family, we felt compelled to take action and remember them. We offered our community orange wristbands, free of charge, to wear proudly each day as a tribute to our brothers and sisters and as a reminder of our strength.
We listed these wristbands in packs of five, ensuring that every order of Bibas Always Wristbands didn’t just create awareness but fostered unity. Even if you only wanted one, you had four more to share with others. We have printed and shipped over 3,000 wristbands in Adult, Youth, and Toddler sizes.
All orders have been shipped and will be arriving soon. Wear them proudly. Remember the Bibas family. Post on your social media for all to see. May God help us continue from strength to strength and protect our people and our land.
♥ Bibas Always ♥
♥ Bibas Forever ♥
With love,
Neil
In memory of Shiri Bibas z"l, Ariel Bibas z"l, and Kfir Bibas z"l
