Yehonatan (Yoni) Palmer grew up in Golders Green, London, moving to Ramat Bet Shemesh (RBS), Israel in 1998. Today he lives with his wife Reena and daughter Aliza on a moshav just outside RBS. He grew up in a home steeped in communal involvement, with his father z”l serving as a gabbai and communal leader, while his mother z”l also played significant roles in women’s groups in the local kehila. Yoni works in hi-tech as a technical writer, but outside work time is also involved in communal activities, himself serving as a gabbai both on the moshav where he lives, and during the time he lived in RBS. He is also a volunteer firefighter and took part in the Jerusalem area fire in August 2021. Yoni and Reena waited 10 years before Aliza was born and they went through the infertility journey, including miscarriages and treatments. In 2019 in partnership with Chana and Shmuli Falk they founded Keren Ohr, an organization developed by people who had been there to help couples emotionally survive and thrive through the infertility journey.
