Iris Haim - She Hugs the Soldiers that Killed her Son
This is the story of a mother who lost her son to Hamas, then lost him again to friendly fire — and instead of turning against the soldiers, she became their protector.
It’s the story of a young man who spent his life fighting fear and despair, and in his final act chose freedom and dignity rather than passive captivity.
And it’s the story of how, in the darkest moments of Jewish history, our heroes are not the people who never break, but the ones who choose love, faith, and responsibility for each other.

The Uniform They Couldn’t Accept - Episode Eight- Season 2 : Courage
When Mayer Alper put on his green IDF uniform, he didn’t just cross a border; he crossed a line few in his community dare to.
Raised in the world of Torah and tradition, Mayer chose to serve on the Gaza border, navigating the tension between faith, family, and duty.
This episode isn’t about rebellion.
It’s about a man caught between two worlds, one defined by devotion and the other by defense, and the quiet courage it takes to hold both.
This one asks hard questions and doesn’t offer easy answers.

The Hostages are out!
As we wrap up season two, I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on the past few weeks. This season has been filled with stories that challenged us, inspired us, and reminded me why I started Israel Take 3 in the first place.
In this short episode, I share updates on the release of the hostages and give a glimpse of what’s coming next as we get ready for season three.
Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or joined somewhere along the way, this is a good moment to pause, look back, and remember what this journey is really about.
Season three is coming soon, and I can’t wait to share what’s ahead.
