Powerful and emotionally charged song called "Kol Gibor Nishbar" (Every Hero Breaks) by Raviv Kaner. I added English subtitles only to what he says before he sings.

He dedicated it to his 4 friends who died in battle while they all served in the 2014 war in Gaza known as Operation Tzuk Eitan (Protective Edge). Raviv suffers from PTSD due to that. He and his friends served in an elite unit called Egoz which a few of my friends still do reserve duty in.

See the next video post which I previously posted in 2021 (before I was on Telegram) where he explains a little more during a song he sang. You can also see it on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ugobey/videos/10164995352030441/

May their memories be for a blessing.

This was the video I posted in 2021 and added English subtitles to in which Raviv Kaner, the same guy in the post above this, sang a powerful song describing how he lost 4 friends in battle and he also describes here how he felt while also singing Moshe Peretz's incredible song "Gibor Shel Ima" (Mother's hero).

This is Imad El-Adwan, the Jordanian member of parliament who abused his immunity to try smuggle in these weapons which I posted about earlier.

Can you feel that raw IDF power!!!
💪💪🇮🇱💪💪

I get to hear this on a daily basis as I live near an IDF airbase.

Israel has been rated number 6 in the world for the Unicorn Index.

In finance, a unicorn is a privately held startup company with a current valuation of $1 billion USD or more.

A Jew, A Christian, A Muslim but all I see here are IDF soldiers.

In the IDF there is no distinction between any group, besides the obvious requirements that each group needs for religious purposes etc but as soldiers they are all the same as each other.

All risk their lives merely being in the uniform. A terrorist doesn't care if an IDF soldier is a Jew, Christian or Muslim, they see just IDF soldiers, same as I see.

Respect to all IDF soldiers who risk their lives daily to protect the country, even the one's who have the most seemingly pointless jobs, it takes all parts of a machine to work well.

A school in Sderot (next to Gaza) was practicing today for the Yom HaAtzmaut ceremony they will be giving on Independence Day this week.

This is a song called "Open your heart"

On 12 June 2014, 3 Israeli teenagers were kidnapped at the bus/hitchhiking stop in Gush Etzion. They were 16 year old Naftali Frenkel, 16 year old Gilad Shaer and 19 year old Eyal Yifrah.

On 30 June, their bodies were found. They had been all shot dead, execution style, shortly after the abduction.

I recall the day we found out very clearly, the next night was Shabbat and I was at my mother-in-laws place for Shabbat dinner. While I was reciting the kiddush prayer before we eat the meal, I burst out into tears from the thought of it and I struggled to complete it but managed, It was a rough time for everyone.

This song and video takes you back on that almost mystical journey from the time of the kidnapping, the Shuvu Achim (Return our Brothers) & Tzuk Eitan (Protective Edge) military operations to the funeral and the feelings of unity which swept Israel and the entire world.

May their memories be for a blessing

A beautiful song called "Eyal, Gilad, Ve'Naftali" by my friend Gila Perach Hirsh who wrote the music and lyrics. This was performed in Vienna by a Jewish physician named Clara Ferdinaro.

The song is about the 3 teens who were murdered by a terrorist in 2014. I made this video quickly so all could hear the song.

You can also listen to it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_tYeL6EdO0

Try read this without shedding a tear, I couldn't even write it without shedding tears.

This is Ella Ram. Her father, the late Sergeant First Class (Rasal) Elad Shlomo Ram, was killed on the last day of the Second Lebanon War after an anti-tank missile hit him while he was rescuing wounded soldiers. For his bravery under fire, Elad posthumously received a military citation. When he died, he was 31, Ella his daughter was only ten months old and so never met her brave father.

Continued below.....

Today, Ella is already 17 years old, she spoke about her father that she never knew: "Since I was born, my mother told me about my father, and today I feel very proud of him. In my perception, I know the person he was. I feel that my mother brought me up according to his values. I walk down the street and see a little girl jumping on her dad and it's upsetting. Even when I entered first grade, or at my Bat Mitzvah, in all the critical moments of my life, my father was not present. I am pained that he is not here to see who I have become. I constantly have a feeling of missing out.

People talk to me about how special and good and what a great hero he was, or about what wonderful advice he would give, and I didn't get a single piece of advice from him. I have a hole in my heart. A kind of longing that I don't know how to explain. It's not his voice or the touch I don't know, it's more a longing for the father I created in my head.

I will soon be enlisting in the army and one of the reasons I would like to enlist in combat service is to follow in my father's footsteps. Also to close a circle and try to understand some of the things he experienced, and also to save people if necessary.

My father saved people in the war and I know that some people say that without him they would not be here. I know he gave his life so that other families wouldn't fall apart. I used to be angry and say why didn't you watch over us and why weren't you more careful. Over time the anger fades away and I am mostly left with sadness"

May his memory be for a blessing and may Ella's broken heart heal.
