This Monday marked 100 days since more than 1,000 people in Israel were killed by Hamas terrorist attacks Oct. 7, 2023 leading to a declaration of war and the Israel Defense Forces killing thousands more in Gaza.
For Rabbi Binyamin Krauss and a group of SAR Academy and High School students, parents and teachers, a November trip to Israel following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks was more enlightening than they could have ever imagined.
An end to the Israel-Gaza conflict is not yet in sight. As war rages on and hundreds of innocents are being killed every week, elected figures and activists have continued to propose solutions to help victims of the war and put an end to the bloodshed that began on Oct. 7.
Of all the stories that have come out of the Israel-Hamas war, one in particular epitomizes the atrocity, hatred and sadness of such a conflict. That is the story of Yossi Hershkovitz, a former SAR Academy teacher, father of five and husband to Hadas, also a former SAR teacher.
