This Yom HaZikaron, we sit with two fathers who lost their sons in the early months of the war.

Eitan Morell shares the story of his son Maoz — a kid with ADHD and learning difficulties who walked into a yeshiva that didn't want him, refused to leave, and became the kind of soldier his unit looked up to. Eitan reflects on what it means to suddenly see your child's whole life in reverse — and how grief reveals a person you thought you already knew.

Rob Airley shares the story of his son Binyamin — named best soldier in his platoon, loved by commanders and chaverim alike. The kind of guy who, moments before being killed, volunteered to run into a building because his unit needed him. Rob talks about learning to grieve without falling apart — and what it looks like to keep laughing and dancing in the house when Binyamin is no longer at the table.

We end off with exerpts from 3 other episodes, about the beauty of living in Israel. Shtark Tank episodes with Eli Freedman and Yaakov Ehrenkranz, and Yaakov's appearance on the DHR podcast hosted by Zak Lenik.
