(Jerusalem Post) The Legends Among Us podcast, hosted by Rabbi Benji Levy, honors families of those who lost their lives during the Oct. 7 attack and the war that followed. Moshe Leiter, 39, a decorated soldier and a father of six, was killed leading troops in Gaza. He is the son of Dr. Yechiel Leiter, the incoming Israeli ambassador to the U.S., who was interviewed on the podcast. Moshe served for 15 years in the Israel Air Force Shaldag commando unit. "He lived the life of someone twice his age," Leiter said. Moshe guided a trusted team during the Gaza operation. He would tell his soldiers, "Know who you are, know where your friends are, and know where the enemy is." This is a guiding principle we can all apply to life, Leiter says. He concluded, "We are fighting not only against Hamas but against a global mindset that blurs the lines between good and evil, truth and falsehood. Moshe and his comrades are our modern-day Maccabees."
