Dear friends and colleagues,

I would like to take a moment, before you all leave for a long weekend, to express our deepest and sincere sympathy on this memorial day.

2020 will forever be remembered as a year that reminded how fragile the world is, and how globalism made us closer – though we live thousands of miles apart and participating in social distancing.

Every life lost is a whole and entire world - This is a fundamental and core value in Judaism. When soldiers pay the price, it is sometimes forgotten that there is a world behind them that was shattered, dreams that will never come true and so much more life to live – they are merely a number, a statistic in the long battle and war against the evil forces in this world. So, on this memorial day, please remember that your brothers and sisters in the IDF and Israel, are praying with you, crying with you, and remembering your loved ones, friends and comrades who gave the ultimate sacrifice in name of freedom, liberty and democracy.

God bless.

Shahar, Benzi, Omer, Chana and Ilana.
