This Purim, the children of the late Captain Rabbi Avi Goldberg Hy”d, who was tragically killed in the Lebanon conflict, chose a unique theme for their costumes. They opted to dress as an “IDF reservist draft summons,” or “Tzav (Order) 8” in Hebrew.
Rabbi Goldberg, a rebbi at the Himmelfarb High School for Boys in Yerushalayim, was killed in action in Lebanon in October 2024.
His wife, Rochel, spoke to Arutz Sheva about the inspiration behind the children’s costume idea. She explained, “The children had the idea of dressing up as Tzav 8 and they refused to miss out on the festivities and joy of the Purim holiday. We have our own family draft order and that is to choose life anew every single morning.”
