While addressing immediate threats is crucial, we must adopt a broader perspective to ensure long-term security.As a young soldier in the Golani Brigade, I found myself in a firefight in Lebanon alongside my commander, the legendary Brig.-Gen. Erez Gerstein, HY”D (“may Hashem avenge his blood”). Amidst the chaos, I noticed that Erez stood tall, observing the situation rather than taking cover or shooting.
