The last words of 49 heroes.

View this email in your browser Hi Herschel, Before going into battle, some soldiers sat down and wrote. Not because anyone told them to. There's no IDF guideline for this. They wrote on their own, in notebooks, on phones, in the minutes before phones were collected. To their parents, their wives, their children, their friends. Most hoped they'd never have to send it. One of them, Yair Roitman, wrote: "I want to ask you not to be sad because of me. That I should only be a memory that gives you strength no matter what you do." He signed off: "Here with you always, Yair." Read their words → If You're Reading These Words gathers 49 letters like his, most never published before, now in English for the first time. The book sold over 100,000 copies in Hebrew in Israel. As Yom HaZikaron approaches, the editors' words stay with us: "If they had the courage to write them, then we should summon the courage to read them."
