In a touching display of dedication and sacrifice, IDF Sgt.-Maj. Urija Bayer, a 20-year-old German Evangelical Christian, laid down his life for the State of Israel. Urija, from Ma’alot-Tarshiha, was a valiant member of the Maglan Special Forces unit of the Nahal Brigade. His story is not just one of personal courage but also of a deep, familial commitment to supporting Israel and its people, especially Holocaust survivors.
