#78 The loss of every soldier and civilian is a deep pain felt by every Jew

The loss of a soldier and civilian in battle or in a terrorist attack is felt by every Jew. Everyone is at risk in Israel and everyone feels for the loss. It does not matter if your children serve in the army or choose not to serve, everybody is saddened to hear when a chayal is hurt or is killed.

Sgt. Sean Mondschein, 19, died fighting the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza on July 20, 2014. These are the notes he left for his family and friends.
