July 4, 1976: Operation Yonatan
…with every passing day you acquire a complete world. Now, this very moment, you’ve gained something. From every mistake you make you gain a little. Every single moment of your life is a whole epoch. Do you remember Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If”? In one of the stanzas, he says: ‘If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run, Yours is the earth…’ Because each and every minute is made up of seconds and of even briefer fragments of time, and every tiny fragment ought not to be allowed to pass in vein.(Self-Portrait Of A Hero)
We come with a simple message to the Council: we are proud of what we have done because we have demonstrated to the world that a small country, in Israel's circumstances, with which the members of this Council are by now all too familiar, the dignity of man, human life and human freedom constitute the highest values. We are proud not only because we have saved the lives of over a hundred innocent people—men, women and children—but because of the significance of our act for the cause of human freedom.(Chaim Herzog)

אנחנו במפה! ואנחנו נשארים במפה - לא רק בספורט, בהכל
"We are on the map. We are staying on the map, not only in sports, but in everything." (Tal Brody)

Favorite Music: depends on mood--give me a mood, and I’ll give you a soundtrack to accompany it.
Favorite Book: I don’t have a favorite:
כשאדם רואה ולומד בספר, ובכל מקום שהוא רואה ולומד מוצא את עצמו, הינו שלוקח לעצמו מוסר ורואה פחיתותו ושפלותו, בכל מקום באיזה ספר שהוא בא ומעין שם, זה סימן שחפץ לעשות רצונו יתברך

Random Questions:
When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
I don’t hesitate. I set my alarm earlier than I have to get up, just so I can hit the snooze a couple of times before I force myself out of my warm bed.
Have you ever drank soda from a straw?
I’ve been known to drink my soda from Twizzler-straws. You know, you bite the ends off of a Twizzler, use it as a straw, and eat the makeshift Twizzler-straw in the end… sorta like an ice cream cone.
