What was the special movement specifically for him? Everywhere I went in Israel there was Bring Hersch Home signs.

His best friend Aner Shapira saved his life by throwing out 7 grenades from their bomb shelter and then jumping on the last one.

His parents were interviewed by Anderson Cooper and AC realized during the interview that he had seen footage of his being kidnapped, with his arm blown off. AC didn't say it on live TV, but called them afterward to let them know.

His parents have spoken very eloquently and with endless faith to get his story out. Everyone thought they were crazy for holding out hope, but his mother shared a beautiful dvar torah before Pesach:

And then Hamas released a video of him on Pesach.

So sad to see his story end like this.

What a shocking tragedy. He was such a vibrant powerhouse, a real defender of Toras Emes. There aren't many more like him left.

I was always amazed how he would take boys into this Yeshiva from all across America, even from little cities that don't boast yeshivish communities, and he would turn those bochrim into Yeshivaleit of the highest caliber. What a terrible loss.

I haven't heard much from Rav Avremal zt"l, but I heard one drosha he gave many years ago, and one great vort stuck with me until now. He brought down the famous Gemara in Kiddushin about the responsibilities that a father has to towards his son. The Gemarah adds that according to some, a father had to teach his son to swim. Rav Avremal had an unbelievable drush in this. He said, "What's the main focus of swimming? To always keep your head above the water. This Gemara is teaching us that a father needs to instill in his child that no matter what life might throw at you, you always need to keep your head above the water and keep going!"

On that note! - I heard from someone who witnessed him yesterday greeting a 10th grade boy asking him about his summer and whether he went swimming, the boy said no so he answered “I think you better go back home quickly and chap a swim!”

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.
