Michal Solomon, the wife of Elad, who was killed in Friday’s terror attack, eulogized him at the funeral in Modi’in earlier this evening with these words:
“My Elad, my dear husband and my best friend. Thirteen years ago we met in Neve Tzur. I met a quiet, calm and stable man. I felt certain in my decision to spend out lives together.
“You were a perfect husband, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. You were excited by our kids. You cared about them. You played with them like a kid yourself.
“We had a real partnership. We made decisions together. We worked together. Now you are not here for me and it scares me.
“You loved our family. And we loved you.
“My love for you will never end. I thank you for all the years you had with me and the children. I could never imagine it would end so suddenly.
“I want to say thank you to everyone here. In the last two days I have received so much strength from people I don’t know. You don’t know how much you have helped me.
“Yossi and Chaya,” Elad’s father and sister, also murdered in the attack, “I will miss you.”

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
