On Sunday night the eve of 13 Elul, the officers and soldiers of the IDF Kfir Brigade gathered for the brigade�s annual memorial. The meeting was the brigade�s first since taking part in Operation Brother�s Return, the effort to locate and rescue Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrach HY�D.
Among those in attendance was Mrs. Rachel Frenkel, Naftali�s mother, who told soldiers and officers �In the name of all the parents I would like to thank you all, to embrace you, to give you hugs and kisses, from the private to the brigade commander � even to the major-general. We love you all so much. Please look after yourselves�.
Among the speakers was Central District Commander Major-General Nitzan Alon, who praised the performance of the brigade.

Naftali looks like Mark Zuckerberg’s identitcal twin.
I vote Rachel Frankel the “sora Imanu” award of the year. Her actions of ‘Hakarat Hatov’ & raising ‘Kvod Shem shamayim’ in the eyes of Jews & non Jews can not be matched.
Mrs. Frenkel is a remarkable woman with seemingly unending strength. My heart goes out to her & all mothers who tragically buried theiur children HY”D.
