Uri Yifrach eulogizes his son Eyal at his funeral in Elad.

Overcome with emotion, body swaying back and forth as if in prayer, Yifrach laments the loss of a youth who had a “special love” for other people “no matter where,” a youth who always agreed to help others.

“They miss you,” Yifrach says of his slain son’s friends and family. “They want you near them, to come and hug them, to hug mom. Mom said you are right next to God now. She said you should whisper in God’s ear and ask him to give her strength, to give us all strength. It will be difficult for us without you. We need strength … you gave strength to so many people, now give us strength as well.”
