The Ariel in Yehuda Winery tends a very special vineyard named in memory of Amichai Ariel’s daughter Hallel who was murdered in a 2016 terrorist attack.

The story of the Hallel wine is heartbreaking and inspiring in its message to all of us to choose life. In 2016 while Halleli was sleeping at the family home, a terrorist broke into the Kiryat Arba settlement and Ariel’s home. He stabbed the sleeping young girl multiple times before he was discovered and neutralized.

Halelli’s father, while crushed with grief, decided to cultivate a vineyard as a living memorial for his beloved daughter. Each year he makes a Hallel wine in her memory.
