In the early days of Operation Lion’s Roar, I heard from a fertility physician at Laniado Hospital—a religious hospital in Netanya – on that Shabbat, when the laboratory is normally closed, someone made sure to come in and remove the frozen eggs and embryos of many couples, transferring them to a protected space from incoming missile fire.
On a morning filled with bombardment and profound uncertainty, someone took responsibility for safeguarding the dreams of these couples on their fertility journey, travelling on Shabbat in order to protect what is most precious to them.
