Yechiel Leiter on Losing a Child to War

Yechiel Leiter is a distinguished Israeli public servant and thinker. A scholar of political philosophy, the head of the international department of the Shiloh Policy Forum, and the former chief of staff to then-Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he is also the father of seven children—including five who are serving in Israel’s current war with Hamas. His oldest son, Moshe Leiter, himself a father of six children, fell in battle on November 10.
