‘My Heart Breaks To Hear Your Little Son Calling, “Abba, Abba.” Your Little Son Can’t Manage Without You.’

“My heart breaks to hear your little son calling, ‘Abba, Abba.’ Your little son can’t manage without you.”

Those were the words of Yehuda Edery, the father-in-law of 31-year-old Yotam Ovadia, at Ovadia’s funeral on Friday. Ovadia, the father of two-year-old Harel and seven-month old Itai, was brutally stabbed to death on Thursday night by a 17-year-old Palestinian terrorist as Ovadia was on his way to his parents’ home to get ingredients for a special dinner he planned to make to surprise his wife.
