It is precisely in these complex days that we must keep the will that our loved ones left us when they left - a strong country in which everyone guarantees each other.
The legacy of the fallen

Every year on Memorial Day we visit the graves of our loved ones, loved ones and loved ones.
Last year, in the shadow of the corona plague, we could not commemorate their memory in the cemeteries.
We could not meet at the monuments and ceremonial plazas.
The social distance imposed on us sharpened the pain and greatly intensified the longing for girls and non-boys.
The Corona has presented the world, and also to the bereaved family in Israel, with many challenges.
We, too, the bereaved family, were required to ask how do we continue to preserve the embers and the legacy of memory from a distance?
How do you do that without seeing the faces of the friends and girlfriends who visit the house and the grave plot every year?
To this end, we enlisted the technology for the memory and heritage service.
In recent months, as a result of the previous year's conclusions, we have established two representative organizations - the Widows 'and Orphans' Organization and the Yad LaBanim Organization - a digital platform that allows Israeli citizens to enter a virtual commemorative area of any space and be part of an online visit.
On this Memorial Day we are actually launching the site and hope that in this way we will continue to keep the will - remember and not forget.
We invite you to enter the "Zochrim" website, we will also meet there.
And to you, the bereaved families, we do not need a day of remembrance or one site or another to remember.
We remember every day, every hour, every year.
Every birthday, every celebration.
At the Shabbat table, the joy of the holiday and the Sabbath routine.
Every day we die a little with them.
Every day they live with us, 23,928 girls and boys from the Israeli military.
Brave, beautiful, forever young.
Our loved ones are so dear to us.
And they, who like me know, are sorely missed by us.
The State of Israel in its 73rd year is a strong and resilient state, but it is also a country with many divisions and many disputes.
The bereaved family unites Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, Bedouins and Circassians - all in one bundle.
They all fought together and fell together - side by side, shoulder to shoulder.
It is precisely in these complex days that we must keep the will that our loved ones left us as they go - a strong country in which everyone guarantees each other.
We will ensure that their name and heritage will never be forgotten.
"He who makes peace in his heights will make peace on us and on all Israel."
May the memory of the girls and boys be blessed.
