Rose, just 21 at her murder, had joined the Border Police after immigrating from the US two years ago, and was overjoyed just to be able to protect the residents of the holy city. Thousands attended funeral even without ever having met her, to express their sense of gratitude to the heroic policewoman who had given her life for them.
Rose will remain a part of Israel, she will be carried on in everyone’s hearts, she was something special” her father eulogized.
“I cried a lot, I didn’t know her but I have a sense of gratitude that she protected me and felt I owed her,” said Rabbi Tzvi Shiff of Aish Hatorah.
Last week’s clip in which Rose wished Shabbat Shalom to her family and to all of Israel turned out to be a final memory from the smiling warrior from Atlanta, and some schools brought their students to participate in the funeral of “such a special hero.”
On 7th October, Rose was in Kibbutz Saad in the Western Negev where she lived and joined the local guard in fending off the terrorists. Unfortunately she couldn’t defend herself against the 16-year-old terrorist who stabbed her to death a few weeks later.
May Hashem avenge her blood.

Heartbreaking. H”yd
Another horrendous tragedy – to drive home the lesson to whoever amongst us is still in doubt that we are so desperately beholden to HKBH to protect every move we make, individually and as a Klal. Beyond heartbreaking that such a beautiful Yiddishe neshoma had to be extinguished by a piece of scum of the earth. What is there to say? What do we understand?
