To Remember and Honor - Ariel University Chess Championship

On Thursday, January 8, 2026, Ariel University will host the Second Annual Chess Championship in memory of our students, alumni, and community members who fell in Israel’s wars and in acts of terror.
Last year’s event brought together bereaved families, faculty, and leading chess players from Israel and abroad. This year, we aim to expand the tournament and deepen its national impact — and we need your support.
The championship serves as a meaningful tribute, combining the values of thought, perseverance, and courage embodied both in chess and in the lives of those we remember.
We invite you to take part in this memorial initiative and help us strengthen a tradition of excellence and remembrance.

Together, we honor their legacy and ensure it continues to inspire.
