The family of Maj. Harel Birenstock has released a deeply moving music video marking 30 days since his death in Lebanon, featuring his daughter Ori singing in memory of her father.
The family wrote, “Maj. Harel Birenstock, 34, was killed in Lebanon exactly one month ago, while fighting to defend northern Israel and the entire Jewish people."
Remembering Harel as a commander, his family wrote, “Harel was a highly respected company commander, following numerous reserve-duty deployments across all fronts."
“He was a charismatic leader who understood the magnitude of the moment, in the war to defend our home," they added.
But Harel's life extended far beyond the battlefield. His family described him as a man who “lived a full life, bringing the utmost professionalism and thoroughness to his role as a commander, as an engineer at Elbit, and as an exemplary family man."
“He was a husband to Elia and a father to four wonderful young children," they wrote.
In the newly released video, his daughter Ori sings in his memory, offering a deeply personal tribute to the father she lost.
“Out of a profound sense of loss, his daughter Ori sings to him," the family wrote. “His loss is devastating for the family and for the entire Jewish people."
