It is with deep regret that we inform you of the passing of Gideon Prodgers early this evening.

Gideon was involved in Habonim Dror from the age of 12. During this time, he touched the hearts of many of us. While on the Shnat programme last year Gideon was diagnosed with leukaemia. Despite the best efforts of numerous caring individuals, Gideon succumbed after a long and difficult fight.

As a madrich, Gideon truly exemplified what it meant to be a member of Habonim. Kind and caring, he was a dugma ishit (personal example) to everyone who knew him.

Our thoughts are with the Prodgers family during this difficult time.

We will not forget him

Aleh ve'Hagshem
