Volunteers of today, leaders of tomorrow

The Yoni Jesner Foundation was set up in memory of Yoni Jesner 19 of Glasgow Scotland, an inspirational youth leader and role model who was tragically killed in a suicide bombing on a bus in Tel Aviv Israel on 19th September 2002. The YJF uses Yoni’s legacy to inspire young people to do more and care more. Yoni-Jesner-2500x1458

Be inspired by Yoni's Aphorisms - his thoughts about life found in his rucksack on the day he died.

Sleep before a test or exam.

Never say ‘obviously’ or ‘of course’.

Don’t argue a point, even if you are sure that you are correct. Always say, ”I’ll have to check it out because you might be right”.

Don’t wear your trousers to high up.

Don’t make out that something is very obvious or people will be scared to ask questions.
