Yehuda Sherman was killed on Shabbos afternoon when a terrorist drove a vehicle into him in Samaria. His death, the author writes, risks becoming another fleeting headline in a long and painful history of attacks against Jews living in Judea and Samaria.

The article reflects on the reality of raising a family in the region, describing communities that continue to build, educate their children, and sustain daily life despite repeated violence. It recalls past victims, including teenagers and entire families killed in stabbings, bombings, shootings, and other attacks over the years.

According to the author, international reactions often frame such killings within broader political narratives, while the victims’ names quickly fade from public attention. The piece argues that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria see their presence not as a political statement but as a continuation of historical and religious ties to the land, and calls on readers to remember Yehuda Sherman as an individual, not a statistic.
