From the Top: Dignity, Courage, and Perseverance
This is a very personal note, so I apologize
in advance to those who prefer the
From The Top column to be more busienss-oriented.
Just over two years ago, the families of Ehud
Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were ordinary
people going about their business much like
the rest of us. The kidnapping of their
loved ones thrust them onto center stage as
they fought to bring them home -- a
struggle that made them unwilling "celebrities" in
their so-human quest. Their dignity,
courage, and perseverance throughout their ordeal
won the hearts of all Israelis
and of people of good faith around the world.
An entire nation held its breath last week as the Second
Lebanon War finally came
to an end. Despite the "certainty" that Ehud and
Eldad could not have survived,
the entire country was heartbroken when the two stark black
coffins quashed that
last tiny sliver of hope-upon-hope. And as the Goldwasser
Regev families came to
grips with their own personal grief, their dignity, courage
and eloquence throughout
the rest of the day and at the funerals continued to inspire
us with awe.
We paid a terrible price for achieving this personal and
national closure. Our hearts
also go out to the families of the victims of the murderers
who were set free. But
in our heart of hearts we know that it was the right thing
to do -- and now maybe
the families, and the nation that is so proud of them, can
begin to heal, even as
we pray for the day that the third kidnapped soldier, Gilad
Shalit, will be embraced
by his family.
