Inbal Freund is the Director of Mavoi Satum (Dead End) a Jerusalem-based organization that advocates on behalf of Agunot. She wrote this as her 60bloggers.com post for Yom Hazikaron - Israel Memorial day on behalf of those who fell defending the State of Israel.
In - memory of Noam Mayerson, my step cousin who fell in the recent Lebanon war, my cousin Chani Dikshtein , her husband Yossi and their child, Shuvael who were shot to death on their way to spending Shabbat with friends. This is also in memory of older loved ones: Shlomo Gabriel Freund, my fatherÂ’s brother who gave his life while defending Gush Etzion in 1948 and of my grandmothers' brother, David Metal who fell while commanding his troops in the south on the same year. Further I would like to commemorate my grandfather's siblings and parents who perished in the holocaust. May their memories be blessed and guide us to meaningful growth and much joy of life in our present and future days.
