Dear Ido Harush,
To your family, you were a loving son and brother; to your friends, a loyal and joyful presence. Your optimism inspired everyone around you. Mitzpe Ramon, the IDF, and all of Israel mourn the hero we lost too soon.

But your light still shines—in the lives you protected, the love you gave, and the nation you served. May your memory be a blessing and your spirit live on forever. Am Yisrael Chai.

With honor, Yizhak

Dear Hero’s Family,

Today, in your Jewish school in Canada, Netivot HaTorah, I pause to remember you. Even though I never met you, I want to thank you. You were willing to risk everything, and you gave everything, to protect Eretz Israel, including me, my family, and Jews around the world.

Because of your bravery, Israel stands Strong. Because of your sacrifice, I can grow up proud to be a Jew, knowing that there are heroes like you who protect our people and our homeland.

During our Yom HaZikaron ceremony, I thought about how young you might have been, how you must have bad dreams, friends, family. I felt the connection, that even though we live far apart, we are one people, and your life mattered to me.

To your family: please know that your family member is not forgotten. We remember them 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. I promise to remember. And I will live with gratitude , knowing that the freedom of our people was protected by someone as brave as you.

With deep respect,
A Grateful Student
Am Yisrael Chai

Dear Mr and Mrs Belete

As I can see your son was courages and brave to join the israeli army only for the reason to help his country Eretz Yisrael. As I read your son made me refelect on how to work on myself and how to help other people. I feel save knowing that there are people out there like your son helping our land. I hope that people learn from your son and learn from his story just like I did.

I wish you Hatzlachah and Nachas For the years to come

עצרנו לחשוב על חיילים שנפלו היום בבית ספר בקנדה אני מקווה שתצליחו להתגבר על מה שקרה ושתהיו חזקים

To the family of Capt. (res.) Avraham Yosef Goldberg,

My heart aches alongside yours as I struggle to find words worthy of honoring him. His courage, selflessness, and unwavering dedication to protecting the State of Israel will forever stand as a testament to the strength of his character and the depth of their love for our homeland. In his final act of bravery, he embodied the very essence of am chazak—a people resolved to safeguard freedom, justice, and peace.

Though no words can soften the weight of this loss, please know that his sacrifice has etched his name into the soul of our nation. He stood tall in defense of our shared values, and their legacy will endure for generations. Every child who grows up in safety, and every generation that inherits the promise of Israel, is all thanks to him. Your pain is felt deeply by a nation grateful beyond measure.

He will live on—in stories, in memories, and in the enduring spirit of a people who refuse to bow to darkness. May you find solace in the knowledge that their light guided countless others to safety, and may their memory forever be a blessing.

With gratitude,
A grateful grade 8 student.
