Overheard at the funeral of Natan Zada

...as reported by Haaretz

A Jew was murdered. Why isn't he being eulogized? A righteous man dies, and there's no eulogy? They have no shame. Why are we keeping quiet?"

No one will believe it, but you completed your studies with distinction. But your biggest distinction you get from us, your parents. May all the leftists go to hell.

He must have read the Torah portion of the week It tells about how we continue to live in the Land of Israel. It says that any [other] nation living there must be thrown out. Eden read the Torah and understood it. He didn't make calculations or enter into negotiations. He perpetrated an act of revenge and a sacred act. He was successful in his actions because of the humility, because no one knew about him. He is a righteous man and did what we are incapable of doing.

I hope this act inspires other dedicated Jews

V'haayin l'tziyon tzofiya, u'bochiya.
