Chabad of Parkland

On Feb. 13, 2018, a shooting occurred at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School located in Parkland California. During the tragedy, 17 people died. To commemorate the victims, on the eve of the two-year anniversary, Joel Amit was invited to design a memorial piece. The MSD Eagles Nesher Memorial consists of 3,320 eagles representing every student who was affected by the shooting. 17 Eagles, MSD’s mascot symbol, representing the 17 people that died in the shooting, appear soaring to heaven through a heart. During the unveiling ceremony at the Michael and Betsy Brauser Chabad of Parkland Center for Jewish Life, 17 family members or special representatives of each victim placed an eagle to complete the work.
