Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's words at the Yad Labanim ceremony in Jerusalem highlighted the ongoing threat to Israel and the importance of remembrance. The author reflects on the ceremonies of Remembrance Day and Independence Day, including the Hadassah convoy victims. The article describes the poignant ceremony and the honoring of two Hadassah professors, both children of Holocaust survivors, who have made significant contributions. Professor Dina Ben-Yehuda and Professor Avi Rivkind were recognized for their achievements. Rivkind, a trauma medicine specialist, shared his personal journey and his belief in choosing life. The author concludes by noting Rivkind's famous case of rescuing a border policeman and plans to share that story in a future column.
