Defenders of the Jewish People: Remembering Israel’s Fallen Soldiers

JL;DR SUMMARY The article pays tribute to Israeli soldiers, particularly focusing on the stories of Sergeant First Class Amichai Yisrael Yehoshua Oster and Master Sergeant Tzvika Lavi, who lost their lives defending Israel in the Gaza conflict. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
