לזכרך.
בתגובה להודעה מספר 1 שנכתבה על ידי יוסיפון שמתחילה ב "יום הזיכרון לחללי צה"ל ונפגעי פעולות איבה התש"ע"
כתבתי את זה לפני כשנה, וכוונה לא הזכרתי את השם.. אני מאמין שאחרים מרגישים כמוני, ומכתב זה יכול להיות עבור כל אחד.
אני מצטער שזה באנגלית- הייתי בין נסיעות הלוך ושוב לחו"ל והיה לי באות הזמן מקלדת באנגלית, אז אני מצטער ם זה לא מובן....
I remember when we met, Both from different backgrounds.
I remember our discussions, our arguments, our laughs and our sad moments.
I remember how quickly we bonded, how every time we parted ways with a big smile and a Hug.
I remember how you were in great shape, always being patient, pushing me and keeping me motivated.
I remember how you held different opinions than me, yet we held the same faith.
I remember how every stage through out our service, we challenged each other, we pushed each other, we encouraged each other through out the hard, difficult and upsetting times, and congratulated each other on each achievement. Always with a Hug.
I remember how when we spoke about life, religion, debated about G-D, you would end up laughing and say "what difference does it make?? 1- Nobody is perfect, and while i do not cover my head, there are those who do who sin greatly; and while i may not be observant, I do know that while i live in Israel, i am getting points, and as you all say-
לכל עם ישראל חלק בעולם הבא,
so what does it matter? The religious in Chutz Laaretz will live their happy lives there and get points for reading a book, and i, while not even keeping kosher or any observance, will get points for living and making sure Eretz Yisrael is available to them when they decide its convenient for them to come".
To this, we end our conversation with a hug.
As time moves on, we both move forward, go our separate ways in service, You off to different courses, as am I. you off to a new unit, as am I.
We say good luck to each other, and give each other a hug.
We keep in touch through the phone, and meet up every so often when we're in each other's area, each time we greet with a hug, every time we leave we end with a hug.
I get a phone call on Saturday night, I'm told that you're unit was in an incident and the Dr's are fighting to save your life.
A year has passed, and it's our time to discharge.
I decide to fly to NY to work, and i email you often with updates, knowing you are having a good laugh.
I walk down the street and think i see you, and i begin to follow "you" for 2 minutes, debating whether to surprise you, but realize I'm being silly, know you're in Israel, laugh and walk back towards my office.
I call you later that day, it's night by you. I leave a message on your cellphone, telling you how i almost jumped a random stranger in NYC.. i laugh and hang up the phone.
I am now back in Israel, send you an email with pictures from my time in the states, and say we should get together some time.
I am walking towards a bus on an empty street, and i see you, we both looked surprised, yell and make faces.
I approach to give you a hug, but you become invisible in my arms.
You turn to dust, and are gone.
I realize that soon, it will be the time of the year that we all gather together to mourn and remember the ones that we lost for our country, but I don't want to see you then, there is no privacy, and we can't talk about everything that has happened in the last 3 years.
I will meet you when it's more quiet,
So i can joke with you and tell you what's new,
lay on your tomb and give you a hug.
לזכרך , יהודי ואיש יקר, צדיק בעיני ה'.
לך יש מקום בעולם הבא.
