, but felt called to Israel in his early twenties. After serving his two years in the Israel Defense Forces as a citizen, he's been called out of reserves to serve his country. He says with that pride, comes a lot of heartache and sorrow. He says on October 7, he had family friends from Houston visiting him in Israel. They were celebrating Simchat Torah, a sacred Jewish holiday, when the unimaginable happened.
"I saw beautiful things that day. The country of Israel coming together, pouring out love particularly for our soldiers," he said. "Buildings destroyed, car destroyed, whether by rocket attacks or the looting by Hamas terrorists," he said. More horrific sights around every corner. "Human remains, dead bodies, a dead dog, the Hamas terrorists shot even a dog."
"We're staying in a house right now, that actually belongs to a family who is being held hostage by Hamas," he said. "It's just so chilling to the bone, I'm in their house, sleeping on their couch, using their toilet paper and I have no idea what's happening to them, or when we'll see them again," he said.
