The family of Cpt. (res.) Rabbi Avi Goldberg, who was killed earlier this week while fighting in southern Lebanon, requests that politicians who come to pay their condolences do so only after reaching out across the aisle.
A statement from the Goldberg family says that it will welcome “politicians from any party or camp,” but only if they arrive in pairs — one from the coalition and one from the opposition. The family says this spirit matches what Goldberg tried to do during his lifetime, of bridging gaps and building bonds.
Photos circulating on social media show a number of lawmakers visiting the family together in Jerusalem, including from Shas, Yesh Atid, Likud and National Unity.
