Lavi

Today, the world lost a talented photographer who never left home without his Leica, an incredibly intelligent young man studied in a program for gifted students, a peace loving soul who worked towards a better and more just world, a sharp mind who stood up for what’s right, an entrepreneurial kid who set up an online shop, an adventurer who traveled the world and dreamed of studying art in NYC — and, how will always remember him, an impossibly a cute little kid with a huge smile. He left behind a father, mother, a sister and two younger brothers, grandparents, aunts and many, many friends who loved him deeply.

The world lost. We all lost.

In loving memory Lavi Lipshitz Z”L who fell in battle with Hamas this morning defending our nation — and one of my son’s closest friends.
