Mr. Rob Airley looks at a picture of his son, Binyamin, and asks the question no parent should ever have to ask: Why?
Why did you run into that burning building?
But he also knows the answer.
Binyamin had always put others first. Chesed wasn’t something he did—it was who he was. Even though he didn’t have to go in, he ran forward to help save his fellow soldiers.
There were hidden terrorists inside the building. Binyamin was killed.
October 7th changed the world. For chayalim—and for the parents of chayalim—fear and anxiety took on a new meaning. So did bravery.
Binyamin served in a combat unit, and his parents were deeply proud of him, even as they lived with constant fear. Today, the Airley family is preparing to send their next son to fight for Klal Yisrael.
In this episode, we hear Binyamin’s story and learn about Beit Binyamin—the legacy that ensures his life continues to inspire.
