Colonel Golan, a reserve IDF search-and-rescue commander, shares the deeply personal story behind Israel’s elite disaster response team and their historic mission in Surfside. From his wife’s kidney donation and missed anniversary, to the painstaking work of finding every missing person, to his own family’s Holocaust-to-Israel journey, he illustrates what it means to remember, to show up for Jews everywhere, and to see every soul as eternally alive in the heart of the Jewish people.
