Special donation sale of painted military helmets.
All proceeds will be donated to the purchase of protective equipment for the IDF reserve soldiers.
About 20 artists from different countries were asked to give an artistic interpretation to the familiar soldier's helmet, as part of the volunteer project - Helmets 4 Chayalim.
The excitingly designed helmets that convey resilience, hope, and unity will be offered for sale, with all proceeds going to the purchase of advanced protective equipment for IDF reserve soldiers.
The project's initiator, Seagal Hagege, who immigrated to Israel with her family from the United States, works out of a deep sense of mission to raise donations to purchase essential tactical equipment for IDF fighters.
Through the "Kadima Concierge" project, which she established after the events of October 7th, Seagal was able to purchase and donate hundreds of helmets, body armor, tactical flashlights, new military uniforms, and more for soldiers.
"Calls for assistance continue to flow into the organization every day. Soldiers urgently need protective gear, vests, and other equipment. Through the donations we raise, we can ensure that soldiers receive the best protection while they protect our lives".

Sophie Kay - Kintsugi.
Sophie Kay, British born, Israeli based artist finds inspiration in the nature and flora of the Israeli landscape.
The inspiration for the design of this helmet came from the Japanese practice “Kintsugi”; an art-form that takes broken pottery and repairs it by adhering the pieces together with a golden lacquer.
The idea mirrors us as a country. That while seemingly broken, we are slowly healing and mending ourselves to restore our unity. Additionally, the juxtaposition between a fragile design (similar to those used in delicate porcelain) on an army helmet - an item usually associated with battle, hardship, force - acts as a reminder that although we are going through a war right now, we will soon flourish and restore ourselves, all the stronger.
All proceeds will be donated to the purchase of protective equipment for the IDF reserve soldiers.
