With quiet determination, Boys Town Jerusalem High School students walked over a mile to Mt. Herzl Military Cemetery on Israel’s Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terror. Here they honored fallen soldiers, including recently slain BTJ grads Sergeant Benyamin Yona, Corporal Ofir Testa, and Sergeant Ariel Sosnov, before returning to BTJ’s schoolwide Memorial Day ceremony.

A moment that touched every heart. We’re honored to share this powerful clip of Adam singing “Yeled, Abba, v’Imma” (Child, Father and Mother) at our Yom HaZikaron ceremony. The song was written by Ilai Botner, and its moving lyrics speak to love, loss, and the hope of reunion. Here is a translation of the chorus: And between us is the sea, the sky, and maybe the world, and even they will not separate us, my little children, and we can try to smile, love, and move forward, and in the end we will meet and be a child and a father and a mother.
