Today the Jewish world continued to mourn the deaths of Eldad and Udi. I hope that more than the Jewish world care and are thinking of them.
This is one of the days when I accutely feel far away from Israel. I wish my aliyah was already complete and I could have been there today. Reading accounts of the funerals helps, yet doing so increases my saddness.
Some links:
- Ha’aretz on the funerals including some quotes from the eulogies and families
- JPost story, including a heartbreaking story about how Udi was nearly released from his miluyim (reserve duty).
