Master Sgt. Nadav Knoller z'l - Featuring Rabbi Aharon Glaser. Managing Director, Wells Fargo Advisors

"Let go, love, smile."

Nadav, son of Michal and Ely, brother to Itai, Galit, Yuval, and Ortal, husband to Hadar and devoted father to Yaar. Born and raised in Ginot Shomron. He served as a reserve sergeant major in 8th Brigade, Unit 121 (Chermesh). On October 7th, he was abroad, and when he heard about the events, he returned to Israel quickly. He served more than 200 days in reserves. He was known as energetic and joyful, proactive, always in action – radiating joy and spreading light. He fell in battle on the Netzarim corridor when his body absorbed a blast and saved his team. He was 30 years old.

In this heartfelt video, Rabbi Aharon Glaser reflects on the legacy of Master Sergeant Nadav Knoller, offering powerful insights on embracing love and positivity. Drawing from the teachings of Rebbe Nachman’s student, Rav Noson, he explores themes of self-acceptance, understanding others, and rising above negativity to build a life rooted in kindness and joy.
