WhatsappIt’s beyond heartbreaking that Avi Rosenfeld lost his son. As a bereaved Israeli father, he shared such an uplifting message. What strength!
A Bereaved Israeli Father and His Remarkable Message
How can you not be totally blown away by this? Totally inspired? Totally uplifted? Avi Rosenfeld lost his son, Sgt. Natan Rosenfeld. He was killed in Gaza while defending the Jewish people. These young men and women giving up their lives for the nation of Israel is truly heroic. But it is painful for their loved ones. And yet, there are those family members who choose to still live a life full of meaning and positivity. Avi Rosenfeld and his wife have chosen to make each day good.
What an unbelievable choice they have made. Even just regular people who don’t experience such tragedy still have a hard time making each day meaningful and good. They have a hard time seeing the positive in their lives. And then you look at people like Avi Rosenfeld—how can you not be in awe? G-d controls the world. And we don’t decide what happens to us. But we do decide how we respond. What steps we take after. What good we can bring to the world.
Avi sees the bigger picture. He said, “Israel will not break. We are here in our own land, and this is going to be the future.” Listening to the strength that a bereaved father has is inspiring. Let’s hope we don’t need to experience any more tragedy and that we can just take his message to heart and choose to make everyday something incredible. Like Avi said, it’s our choice—”That choice was given as a gift from G-d to us.”
