Lerner added, “If we could go back in time, I would have gone anyway. In the end, you have to do what you need to do for the country. What gives me faith - is G-d, and what happens - happens.”

His father said: “I must mention Shira, Hagai’s girlfriend, who he was supposed to propose to a few days after he was injured. She was there from the very first moment when we couldn't identify Hagai. And she didn't move from him.”


These are the portions that moved me.

Would your girlfriend, fiancee, or wife do this for you ?
