Hadar Goldin

Hadar Goldin

23

Hadar Goldin was born and raised in the communal settlement of Eshchar to Prof. Simcha Goldin, a professor of history at Tel Aviv University, and Dr. Leah Goldin, a lecturer in software engineering. He was born alongside his twin brother, Tzur, and has an older sister, Ayelet, and an older brother, Menachem. During his youth, Hadar was a member and leader in the Bnei Akiva youth movement. He completed his high school education at the Kfar Batya Sciences Yeshiva and studied at the Bnei David pre-military academy before enlisting in the army.
Hadar was a lieutenant at the IDF's Givati Brigade, a Jewish patriot, humanitarian and artist. Hadar was a remarkably gifted young man - a painter and graphic artist, a poet and an inspiration to all who knew him.
On the 1st of August 2014, during Operation Protective Edge (מבצע צוק איתן), two hours after Hamas agreed to a ceasefire, terrorists ambushed Israeli soldiers from a tunnel in the basement of a house in Gaza. The terrorists killed two of the soldiers; Hadar Goldin was one of them.
The Hamas organization continues to hold Hadar's body as a bargaining chip to extract political or military concessions in conflicts with Israel. Hamas is also holding the remains of Oron Shaul, another soldier killed in Operation Protective Edge in 2014.
The Goldin and Shaul families have experienced the pain of not only losing a beloved son in war, but the added agony of not being able to bury his remains in their hometowns where their sons grew up. The two families are committed to recovering their sons' bodies and giving them the decent burial they deserve in Israel.

The simplicity or your body returning home is in such contradiction of reality. It took an eternity to get you there. Sadness... hopefully your family can find closure somehow.

Dear Family of Hadar Goldberg,

We have not forgotten you, your fate, and that of your loved ones. We are unhappy, that Hadar is dead. You are forever in our hearts. Israel is not alone. You are not alone. There are also people in Germany who stand behind you and want to encourage you. There is a reason to look forward and keep going. It is a difficult, rocky road back to life, but I am sure it can be done. Whether you are surviving hostages or have lost loved ones, we wish you comfort in your grief. We pray for you.

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

Warm regards,

Stefan Fröhlich

משפחת גולדין היקרה,

בינכם הדר זכרונו לברכה כבר שבע שנים של יגון לא איתנו.

הדר, כשמו כן הוא היה גבר יפה לתפארה. קראתי שבנכם היה ברוך כישרנות והלב נחמץ על אובדנו.

כשהגעתי לכיכר החטופים בת"א וראיתי אנשים אוחזים בתמונתו , התמלאתי גאווה על שאנחנו לא שוכחים במהלך השנים את מתינו הגיבורים.

מי יתן ואתם תקבלו בחזרה את גופת בינכם יחד עם שאר החטופים ותזכו לקצת רוגע לאחר סבל ארוך ומתמשך.

איתכם בכאבכם

נאוה אגמון.

נאוה א.
