I never imagined - 5 widows reflecting after losing their loved one
When we find our soul mate, there are a lot of things we never imagine… But for most of us, their sudden death is not one of them. This short clip captures a line from 5 brave widows who recently lost the love of their life and forces us to think a little more deeply. As we commemorate Yom HaZikaron, our hearts go out to Senai Guedalia, Chava Zenilman, Pesi Gordon, Naomi Shaya and Talia Haber, among the hundreds of thousands of people who are in pain, unable to fill the gaping hole that these heroes left behind. We continue to pray that no one ever experiences these tragedies again.
