About the campaign

Known throughout the world as ‘Terrorist Cop‘, Mordecai Zev Dzikansky, z”l, a/k/a Morty, will remain a hero to countless. But to those closest to Morty, z”l, a beloved wife, 3 wonderful children, sisters who adored him, nephews and nieces he treated as his own, as well as very close friends, he will always be remembered for possessing a heart bigger than his 6’3 stature. A gentle giant, it is impossible to describe a man whose life’s work dealt with the worst in humanity, yet, he still retained a compassionate soul. It was this core aspect that drew him to enthusiastically volunteer at Leket. I can only imagine him performing his (heavy-lifting) duties with a warm smile, accompanied by his trademark grin. It was this sincere affability that drew so many into his orbit. He was one of a kind.

Rest in peace, dear brother, you will be forever missed.
