Blank stone at the grave of fallen soldier Israel Yudkin HY"D
HY”D Approved For The Tombstone of Chabad Soldier
Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, has approved the Public Council for the Commemoration of Soldiers’ recommendation to add the acronym Hy”d, which stands for Hashem yikom damo – May G-d avenge his blood, to military gravestones of fallen soldiers, at their family’s request.
The decision was reached after the family of Captain Yisrael Yudkin OBM, who was killed in Gaza, appealed the official wording on IDF tombstones, but the Ministry of Defense did not accept their claim.
Minister Gallant instructed the Ministry of Defense to amend the regulations for approval by the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, as required by law.
