Our Brave Boys

These are the six young men who lost their lives yesterday as they were trying to make my life, and the lives of my fellow Israelis, safer.

They were:

  • Edron Amar, 20
  • Eitan Newman, 21
  • Aviad Deri, 21
  • Kobi Mizrahi, 20
  • Ofer Gerbi, 20
  • Jacob Marvizi

    While in other countries young men their age are already studying at universities or working, in Israel this is not a luxury we can afford.

    Update: Here is more on each of these heroes.

      G-d bless these men for giving their lives to ensure the safety of Israel. My heart breaks thinking about the pain their families are going through. I can’t even imagine. It brings tears to my eyes just to think for a moment how much anguish their parents, siblings, girlfriends, friends, and other loved ones are dealing with.
