"If you start something, finish it! Giving up is not an option."

Bar, son of Pnina and Yossi, brother to Rotem and Shaked, served as radio operator to the company commander in the 51st Battalion, Golani Brigade. He was a quiet, intelligent young man with wide interests, he formed deep friendships and shared a close bond with his siblings, parents, and partner, Noa. On Simchat Torah, after his vehicle was struck by an RPG and ambushed, he insisted on continuing toward Kissufim to defend civilians: “If not us, then who?” he said. He acted with composure and determination and fell in brave combat. He was 20 years old.

In this heartfelt message, Orly Wahba reflects on the profound words of Staff Sergeant Bar Rozenshtein, emphasizing the vital importance of perseverance and completing the missions life sets before us. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like Avraham, Orly encourages viewers to embrace their challenges courageously and to finish what they have started. She reminds us that Hashem is always by our side, guiding us through uncertainty and pain, providing strength and hope along the journey.

Bar sounds like a beautiful and courageous young man. He embodied Hillel’s famous פתגם - and if only for myself, who am I? And if not now, when? He was a hero. זכרונו לברכה
