Sean Carmeli: A Son, a Brother, a Soldier, and a Symbol of Jewish Unity | Gal Carmeli | Ep. 26

This episode was confronting. Facing the hard truth that every time one of our brothers and sisters goes to protect the Jewish nation- return is not guaranteed. What stays behind is a void that can never truly be filled- for the light that was taken could never be replaced. How do we make sense of something that doesn't make sense? How do we learn to be whole within the broken? How do we move forward when such big scars remain to remind us of the past?
