Thousands lined the streets of Jerusalem with Israeli flags to bid Hersh Goldberg-Polin a final farewell on Monday. During the funeral, Rachel Goldberg’s gave these final words to her son: “Ok sweet boy, go now on your journey. I hope it’s as good as the trips you dreamed about because finally, my sweet boy, finally, finally, finally, finally you are free.

I will love you and I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life, but you’re right here. I know you’re right here. I just have to teach myself how to feel you in a different way.

And Hersh there is one last thing I need you to do for us. Now I need you to help us stay strong and I need you to help us survive”
