Israeli War Hero Instills Jewish Pride in U.S. Students

Jewish students at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire learned about the love of the Land of Israel from Golani fighter Ziv Yitzhaki, who was wounded in the second Lebanon war.

The special talk was organized by the Chabad Terror Victims Project.

The meeting was held last night in Jerusalem at the Jerusalem Gates Hotel, and left a deep impression on the students.

Ziv’s message to them was: “Do not be afraid. Be proud of being Jewish!”

The Shliach who is accompanying the group from Dartmouth, Rabbi Moshe Gray, summed up the meeting by saying: “Ziv’s powerful message of Jewish pride is exactly what we are trying to accomplish with bringing the students to Israel.”

The students also heard from Rabbi Menachem Kutner and Rabbi Yossi Swerdlov about the work being done by Chabad in Israel, in helping the victims of terror and war.
