Sgt. Shir Biton z'l - "To put others before myself, to truly see who’s in front of me on the outside and the inside - and help them."

Shir, daughter of Uri and Asaf, and sister to Liad and Avia, served as a combat medic in the Northern Gaza Division and volunteered with Magen David Adom. She dreamed of becoming a surgical doctor and devoted herself to her studies. At the end of her medic training course, she wrote a heartfelt letter about what the role meant to her. She was known as a wise and joyful young woman who always placed others before herself. She fell on October 7th during the battle for the Nahal Oz outpost, while defending the state and its citizens. She was 19 years old.

In this heartfelt tribute, Rabbi Shlomo Hochberg honors the memory of Sergeant Shir Biton, a remarkable young woman who devoted her life to helping others. Drawing profound insights from her legacy, Rabbi Hochberg reflects on the values of empathy, selflessness, and commitment to service. The message reminds us to cherish every moment and to actively support those around us. Inspired by the teachings of Hillel, the video explores Shir’s impactful philosophy and emphasizes the shared responsibility we all bear to care for one another
