Although the modern state of Israel at this moment in history is a military, commercial and technological powerhouse, the way to this status was paved with sacrifice. Since 1948, the state of Israel has lost thousands upon thousands of precious young men and women in battle. Unfortunately, they have also lost well over 1,000 civilians to Palestinian terrorism. Israelis remain acutely aware of the incredible sacrifice that so many of their young people have made to be able to have a thriving, independent Jewish homeland. That is why on the very eve of Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day, we commemorate Yom HaZikaron, the Day of Remembrance.

One victim of Palestinian terrorism was 13-year-old Koby Mandell, who was born in Silver Spring, Maryland. On May 8, 2001, Koby and his best friend Yoseph Ishran decided to do the Huck Finn thing and skip school to go hiking in the Judean desert. However, the punishment was not worth the crime—both Koby’s and Yoseph’s bodies were found in a cave outside their families’ community of Tekoa. They had been so brutally murdered that investigators needed dental records to identify the bodies.
What Koby’s mother and father have done with their enormous pain is incredibly beautiful. Through a foundation in their son’s name, they have created healing for scores and scores of the brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, and mothers and fathers of the victims of Palestinian terrorism. As Sherri Mandell said once, “They take their pain and they turn it into more pain and death. We take our pain and we turn it into healing and love.”
Please join this remarkable woman to describe her love for Koby and the work of the Koby Mandell Foundation on Tuesday, April 13th at 12:00 EDT.
