On the day of remembrance for the martyrs of Israel's systems and the victims of hostilities, quite a few moments of sadness and pain are recorded.
One moment of joy mixed with sadness was recorded today (Tuesday) on Mount Herzl when the Yaniv family, who killed the brothers Yigal and Hillel in the attack in Hawara two months ago, celebrated a bar mitzvah for the younger brother Tzur Yehuda at the cemetery, on the graves of his brothers.
Earlier in his speech at the ceremony to commemorate the victims of hostilities, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to Tzur's 13th birthday: "We are all brothers in pain, grief, and also in joy. Today, precisely today, a young boy from Mehr Bracha Tzur Yaniv, the brother of Hillel Weigel, reached the age 13. As every family does, Tzur carries with him the memory of his loved ones, his older brothers."
Joy mixed with sadness.

Two months ago, the brothers Hillel Menachem Yaniv, 21 years old, and Weigal Yaakov Yaniv, 19 years old, were murdered in a shooting attack in Samaria, near Hawara.
The two, residents of Har Bracha, studied in Seder yeshiva.
Shortly before his death, Hillel completed his service in the Navy, and was even awarded a course honors degree.
Yigal helped at the beginning of the year in the establishment of the Yeshiva branch in the Carmel Castle.
These days he was supposed to begin the procedures for his combat enlistment in the IDF.
After the murder, the mother of the brothers sent a recording to the youth of Har Bracha and said: "We received a tremendous slap in the face from God. We are trying to find the good things. We have a huge hole in our hearts, and nothing Nothing will close it. Not construction, not a demonstration, not anything. Even joys in the family will be a plaster, the hole will remain and we will learn to live with it happily and continue."
"They were both on their way to study Torah, to do meaningful service in the army," continued the mother.
"I have no words that can comfort, but we trust you. We planned to have a farewell Shabbat and with God's help we will make a meaningful Shabbat for the youth and we will be able to talk and we will be very happy if you write stories and memories and special things."
