The return of fallen soldiers holds profound emotional significance for Israelis, as seen in the recent homecoming of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin after eleven years. The nation collectively mourned and celebrated his return, reflecting a deep cultural and spiritual connection to bringing loved ones back for burial. Families often describe the return of their loved ones' bodies as a form of homecoming, highlighting the importance of closure and respect for the deceased. This powerful response raises questions about the roots of this sentiment, especially given Jewish tradition's strong emphasis on life.
