    The rav of his yishuv (Nof Ayalon) said that the first words out of his father’s mouth upon hearing the news was “Boruch Dayen Haemet”. His sister told the press yesterday that her brother’s death “should be a kaparah to klal yisroel. Shana tova.” Talk about emunah.

    His last moments were spent doing Mitzvohs, giving out water to those in need. May the family be comforted and may they only have nachas and good blessings from now on. A Gmar Chasima Tova to all of Klal Yosroel!!

    This soldier was also a talmid chacham; according to his sister. On shabbos you can see him after the seuda learning and not going to sleep. He mamish seems to have been an erliche neshama; may he be a meilitz yosher for all of klal yisroel.

    so sad. There are no words. just tears. we need Mashiach already.
    This sounds like a really strong family. Real emunah and bitachon. Haakom yinachem eschem b’soch sha’ar avlei zion v’yerushalayim.
    He is so young… HaShem yeracheim. when you see the pictures- it really hits you – how young these brave solders are. It is a tragedy at any age. May we merit to greet Mashiach and see techias hameisim and build the bais Hamikdash all together. m’arba kanfos ha’aretz….v’haya bayom hahu…HaShem echad ushemoi echad.

    Comments 12, 14 and 15 all seem somewhat pointless. To whom or to what were they referring?

    I have been praying real hard for his family ever since I heard. My heart goes out to them! I live in America, and am praying hard for everyone in Israel! The God of your fathers loves you dearly and will keep His children Israel safe!!
