Itay Chen gave his life defending Israel. 💔🇮🇱

On October 7, he wasn’t supposed to be on duty. He had switched shifts with another soldier so he could attend his brother’s Bar Mitzvah (Jewish coming of age ceremony) the following week.

Joshua Mollel had only been in Israel for 19 days when the October 7, 2023 attack took place. He had arrived as an agricultural intern and was just 21 years old.

His family described him as polite, kind, hardworking, and always smiling.

The word “rabbi” means “great” or “revered,” and was first used the way some people use titles like “master” or “lord.”
