Amen. Amen. Five times amen. May our enemies be crushed and turned to the dust they crave and merit. May God punish our hypocritical friends in the West for their lies and backstabbing. Am Israel chai lanetzach!

Brilliant and powerful. No family should have to face these terrible decisions, and no family should have had to face the atrocities of Oct 7th.

What a difficult situation, to leave your son to fight to protect your son. Praying for this soldier and all those like him.

Go with love and faith that the Jewish people are proud of you and will hold you in our hearts. Your son will know that love too.

Am Yisrael Chai.

I Am not Special?

But this Canadian Grandfather begs to differ. You are beyond special. From the bottom of my heart , i wish a safe return, to you and your family, so that one day you will be a grandpa like me, in a Strong Nation of Israel

Beautiful sentiments. What a stark contrast between this man and the privileged, ignorant brats on America's campuses throwing tantrums in support of satanic monsters which they don't have to live adjacent to. These worthless punks at Columbia and elsewhere have no idea what true sacrifice and courage are. God bless you and your family Avi Kahn and all of Israel. Pray for the soldiers and their families.

This made me cry. But it is true. We will not be broken. Now we need that same resolve in a different way when dealing with campus protestors (Columbia). I personally would have surrounded the building, not letting anyone in or out for several days or until they were willing to come out with hands up. Let them be hungry and without supplies. Show their weakness and stupidity. Now they will be heroes.

I hurt for you all while awaiting your triumphant victory, which will come someday. I am absolutely sure of it because God said it.

Good on you for knowing what is real. Everything else is flimflam
