Not only is your scholarship important financial support for me, but also a real and significant reinforcement on my journey as a young artist. Knowing that there is someone who believes in my craft, in my journey and in the importance of fostering culture and music in Israel gives me enormous inspiration and drives me to keep advancing, dreaming and creating. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the faith and light that you shine. Your support enables me to keep developing as a musician and as a person - and to aspire, in future, to shine a light for others as you shine one for me today.

I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the significant support and assistance that I have received from you in this scholarship. Your scholarship allows me to keep at my studies with the peace of mind that I can invest in my studies and personal development, and cope with the living expenses that accompany my studies in this period of economic difficulty. This support helps me with a heavy economic burden, and enables me to focus on my goal of successfully completing my studies and stepping towards the future that I aspire to. Beyond this, the significance of your support is that it gives me a feeling of security, stability, reinforcement and motivation to keep on making an effort and working at my studies. A big thank you for your generosity, care and the light that you shine. Because of you, I can keep growing, developing and building a better future for myself, and that is not taken for granted. In gratitude and appreciation,

Dear Yossi and Miri, I was very excited to hear today that "Ika’s Light" has chosen to fund my scholarship. Without you I would not have been able to fund my studies, and I am deeply thankful to the foundation for choosing me. The music studies that you have helped me secure will drive me to the highest level that I am able to achieve, and to making my dream come true. I am very excited to begin my studies in two weeks’ time and to learn from some of the best musicians in Israel in lessons where I will make friends for life. In addition, I am of course preparing myself to broaden my horizons, and to playing music a lot. P.S.: Further to our conversation, I promise and know that we will see each other again on big stages. Thank you for everything

To Ika’s Light Foundation, I was very happy to hear that you have chosen to offer me a scholarship. The scholarship will help me study music, like I really want to, and develop myself in a place that, I believe, has a lot to offer me. It will allow me to invest as much of myself as possible in my studies and playing. I’d like to add that I am very glad to have met you, and to have had the chance to hear about Ika’s character, who was so close to your hearts. I am excited about the opportunity to continue in her way and in her light. Thank you so much
Miriam Bir-Levy, 2023 scholarship winner
This scholarship will really help me to make my dream of working in design come true. Because my parents don't live in Israel, and I have to finance my studies on my own, it is difficult for me to find the time to work enough in order to pay both my tuition fees and my rent. Therefore, I am proud and grateful to "Ika's Light", for chosing to give me this scholarship, which will help me make my dream come true.
