Injured Soldier Pops the Question to his Bride-to-Be
This is so heartwarming, to see this injured soldier getting engaged. Hamas took his leg, but they are not going to take away his life. His love. Mazal tov to Shachar and Tamar!

When Assistant Battalion Commander Tabibo Desata finally came home from the front, he took a break from getting saluted and instead he bowed down in front of his father to honor him. Remarkable.

When our firstborn, Hadas, was just a few months old I became friendly with a mother from my neighborhood named Chaya. One Shabbat, we joined Chaya and her husband, Josh, for Shabbat lunch. At that time, Chaya’s firstborn, Yakir, was around 10 months old, which made her, in my eyes, a Very Experienced Mother. I remember getting advice from Chaya on how to get Hadas to sleep better for longer periods of time, like her Yakir started doing when he was the same age as Hadas was. As our babies grew into toddlers and young children, I would...
