<p>This Yom HaZikaron, we sit with two fathers who lost their sons in the early months of the war. </p><p><strong>Eitan Morell</strong> shares the story of his son <strong>Maoz</strong> — a kid with ADHD and learning difficulties who walked into a yeshiva that didn&#39;t want him, refused to leave, and became the kind of soldier his unit looked up to. Eitan reflects on what it means to suddenly see your child&#39;s whole life in reverse — and how grief reveals a person you thought you already knew.</p><p><strong>Rob Airley</strong> shares the story of his son <strong>Binyamin</strong> — named best soldier in his platoon, loved by commanders and chaverim alike. The kind of guy who, moments before being killed, volunteered to run into a building because his unit needed him. Rob talks about learning to grieve without falling apart — and what it looks like to keep laughing and dancing in the house when Binyamin is no longer at the table.</p><p><br></p><p>We end off with exerpts from 3 other episodes, about the beauty of living in Israel. Shtark Tank episodes with Eli Freedman and Yaakov Ehrenkranz, and Yaakov&#39;s appearance on the DHR podcast hosted by Zak Lenik.</p><p><br></p><p>Make sure to sign up for newsletter at <a href="ShtarkTank.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">ShtarkTank.org</a></p><p>To support Beit Binyamin <a href="https://causematch.com/beitbinyamin26/robjenairley/donate" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">click here</a></p><p>To watch the movie about Maoz Morell <a href="https://youtu.be/V6S-xblkZhQ?si=wS_iUwzUYZvR5xLL" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">click here</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>00:00:00 Intro</p><p>00:04:20 Eitan Morell remembers his son Maoz</p><p>00:39:34 Rob Airley remembers his son Binyamin</p><p>01:11:25 Shtark Tank with Eli Freedman</p><p>0:1:23:17 Shtark Tank with Yaakov Ehrenkranz</p><p>01:33:24 Yaakov on DHR Podcast</p><p> </p><p></p>
