Dear Family of Elkana z’l,
When I read the words Elkana said to his brother,that he should not cry for him…I feel so small. Only 20 years old and what a huge neshama he had-I feel like nothing compared to him.
May your family be comforted amongst the mourners of Tzion and never suffer more tzar! While we are strangers please know we are with you in your grief and your loss is our loss and we will forever know what your precious son did for all of Am Yisroel.Sending so much love to you,his family ❤️🇬🇧🤝🇮🇱Esther Grosskopf-Lok

שלום למשפחתו של אפרים יכמן
קוראים לי שקמה פתוחי חותם אני בת 13 ובכיתה ז’ ובשליחות בקנדה וגרתי בעבר בכרמי צור ולמדתי באורות עציון בבית ספר של הבנות שלך. למדנו היום בבית ספר שלנו בקנדה על יום הזיכרון ועל חיילים גיבורים. וביקשו ממנו לכתוב למשפחה של חייל נופל מכתב והחלטתי לכתוב לכם את המכתב .
אני שלחת לכם חיבוק כדול מקנדה ועד ישראל
שקמה

Dear family of Shirel Haim Pour I hope you are doing well. Your daughter fought with her life and saved a lot of people. I’m sure she was an amazing person who cared for others and did the best for her people. I hope you know how much it means to all of us the your daughter helped our nation. I hope you have a meaningful Yom Hazikaron.

Love, Tehilla

To the family of Eden Nimri,

Today, on Yom Hazikaron, I am taking a moment to pause and honor your daughter, sister, neice, or cousin. She was so impressive, in her swimming and in the many lives she saved. She had bravery like no other, and will never be forgotten. Her life is a great loss, but she’s safe and comfortable now. Know that she only deserved the best, and now she has just that. Love from all around goes to you.

Dear Ariels fmaily,
Today, in our Jewish day school in Canada, Netivot Hatorah, I pause to remember your son. Even though I never met him, I want to thank him. He was willing to risk everything to protect our home. He gave everything he had, until his last breath, doing all he could saving so many lives. Because of your bravery, Israel stands strong because of his sacrifice and I can grow up to be a proud Jew knowing that there are heroes like him who protect our people and homeland. Just know your son is not forgotten. we remember him not just as a soldier but as one of us. their memory is part of our classroom, our community, and our hearts. I pray for peace and I promise to remember. I will live with gratitude, knowing that the freedom of our people was protected by someone as brave as you.
Thank you, and I wish for all the best.
