Hadar Goldin z'l, a Lieutenant in the Givati Brigade of the IDF, was a Jewish patriot, humanitarian and artist, and only 23 years old when he was killed on August 1, 2014 by Hamas terrorists, two hours after a cease-fire was declared in the Protective Edge War in Gaza. Hamas terrorists dragged his body into an underground tunnel deep into Gaza, where it continues to be held hostage by Hamas to this day.
Hadar was a remarkable gifted young man, a happy and lively person with an easy and winning smile. He was an accomplished painter and graphic artist, an inspiration to all who knew him.
His parents, Leah and Simha, have experienced the unspeakable pain of not only losing a beloved son in war, but the additional agony of not being able to bury his body in their home town where Hadar grew up.
They are joining the Bayit this shabbat in order to mobilize public and political support for an effort to bring Hadar’s body, and the body of another IDF soldier who fell in Gaza, home for burial in Israel.
They will be speaking in the Main Sanctuary immediately following shabbat morning tefillot.
Please join us in supporting the family on their quest to bring Hadar home.
