In memory of Amit Goeta z"l

גל ועמית גואטה

* Translation by Yehoshua Siskin

“Shalom Sivan, My name is Gal Goeta. My husband Amit, a soldier in the Maglan commando unit, was killed on Simchat Torah. Last Shabbat was their first wedding anniversary.

When Amit would come home from the army, we would detach ourselves from everything and focus on ourselves. Not out of egoism, but from an understanding of the preciousness of time and the value of the relationship between us — the understanding of what is right and good, as well as what weakens and what gives us strength.

In honor of my wedding anniversary, I want to suggest to everyone reading these words that they should spend an hour together with their spouse — to sit, to talk, to study with them, to connect. This time can also be spent with a friend, a relative, or anyone else. The main thing is to increase goodness among the nation of Israel! It is the goodness to which Amit aspired and succeeded in living every day.״
