Hi, my name is Naftali Hertz. I’m proud to serve in the IDF as a lone soldier in an active combat unit. I’m writing these words to you from deep inside Gaza - the room is vibrating from constant explosions. Since October 7th two years ago, I’ve been deployed several times. Despite all my missions in the army and the daily danger to my life, G-d has helped me find my intended.
My kallah is perfect for me in every way. We want to get married, build our own home, and start a family. It all depends on our wedding planned for Thursday, the 18th of Elul.
That’s just a month away.
We have no financial support from our parents, and the expenses are enormous even for a simple simcha. Not to mention buying a ring, paying the rent, or purchasing furniture and appliances. Please help me cover the many expenses. As a lone soldier, I have no way to pay them.
May you be blessed with a zechut that will be yours forever. I want you to know I’ll daven for you under the chuppah. I’ll remember your name. May G-d bless you with everything good. We should win this war soon and greet Moshiach together.
Naftali
