Shalom Chaver, שלום חבר



Well if anything, the man has a way with words. Though this may just be another way in which Obama is encouraging support from the Israeli public,  his words stand accurate, emotional, and poignant
To me, the assassination of Rabin was one of the lowest points in Israeli history. He was a military legend and a true visionary-- for once, peace felt within reach. 14 years later, I can barely wrap my mind around what that even felt like. In looking a little deeper, our aspirations were premature. I still cannot get over the irony of him being shot just after singing "a song for peace." 
Today we reflect on his passing of one of Israel's greatest heroes. 
His legacy will be honored when his dreams are achieved.
