Summary
In honour and eternal memory of Nevo Fisher z”l
Since her beloved son Nevo was killed in combat in Gaza at the age of 20, Ayelet Fisher has been searching for ways to live a life filled with greater meaning, continue Nevo’s path, and share the light he left behind with others. She reflects on the values that guided him, his lifelong search for truth, and his belief in the importance of unity among the people of Israel.
Ayelet shares how she is pursuing three meaningful paths: giving talks to share Nevo’s light with the world, accompanying wounded soldiers through rehabilitation and their transition back into community life, and organising volunteer missions that bring together bereaved parents and their adolescent children who have lost a sibling. She cannot change what happened, but she can choose what to do with the light Nevo left behind.
