Max Steinberg was an lone American volunteer IDF soldier who was killed in action recently during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.
His family came to Israel to bury their son and to give a eulogy at Mount Herzl today, where over 30,000 people attended.
This is what was said.
To Max and other IDF soldiers who recently died defending our country, thank you for your honorable service to our country and your people.
May you rest in peace and Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet.
