Rivlin eulogizes ‘our dear brother’

President Reuven Rivlin offers the first eulogy.

“I am speaking to you today for the final time Shimon, ‘as one President to another,’ as you would say each time you called to offer strength and good advice.

As I speak, my eyes search for you, our dear brother, our older brother, and you are not there,” he says. “Today you are gathered to your forefathers in the land which you loved so, but your dreams remain, and your beliefs uninterred.”
