Our Indubitable Hero
Ohad Moskovitz dedicated a song to Roi in one of his concerts a few years ago. It's unbelievable. Roi has been my hero ever since I heard the song. I am continuously amazed and awed by his submissiveness to his country and quick thinking to throw himself upon the gernade. Only Jews.

A real superhero
Any no action figure can compare to a married father taking his own life to save those of others. May there be no more need for such sacrifices, and may the widow know only strength for her children.

May His Memory be A Blessing Words cannot describe how this story of Roi Klein's ultimate sacrifice and his complete dedication to his faith has impacted me. I am speechless, utterly humbled, and in awe . In an age where people live to fufill their own gratifications, where the media portrays that the way to happiness is by feeding into greed at the expense of others, where selfishness is everywhere, how can we understand the ultimate act of selflessness that Roi Klein did in the last moments of life.The letter that he wrote to his wife was so moving and touched me to the inner core. Wow is all I can say- wow. What he beautifully expressed is what every Jew should aspire to- to truly live is to fufill the will of Hashem, to serve G-d with all of one's being, to care for the welfare of Kal Israel. May G-d provide strength to his wife , children, and family. Please G-d, let the holiness and santicty of Roi Klein's life merit the coming of moshiach

True Hero is an understatement.
Words do not exist in the entire english language nor in any language to convey the righteousness of Roi haTzadik. What an incredibly moving and inspiring video....it's really Roi that is so inspiring...his ideals, his letter, his actions. The lesson he teaches us is priceless and demonstrates what a true tzadik he is. My deepest condolences to his wife. May HaShem comfort you with the mouners of Tzion and Yershalayim. I'm so so so sorry for your loss. All of Israel is mourning with you. OUr thoughts are with you and your children. It was a privledge to be able to watch this video adn learn from his actions.

True heroes
Roi Klein AND his wife are true heroes. Their incredible love and idealism shook me to my old, cynical core. Thank you for this touching video. Can anyone be the same person after watching it?

To Sarah Klein
I married last august late at the age of 47 to a gentleman of 61 years of age. late marriages have their own specific challenges and lately I felt that the connection to my spouse (who is a very sincere supporter of Israel and it is on this basis that our connection started in the 2006 Lebanon War) is not as powerful as it should be. The letter of Roi to you reminded me clearly was a Jewish marital bond is all about. I so needed to let you know that.... People like Roi epitomize Jewishness. May he enjoy "lelogvul" love and joy in the closeness of the Almighty . Sincerely, Jocelyne Weiss, Bayside, NY

The Memory of the righteous for a blessing
Thank you for reminding us there are people in our midst who embody the traditional Jewish perspective of life, even if they must pay the ultimate price in order to save others. They honor the God of our fathers and His teachings, every day they live as well as in their deaths. May God avenge Roi's death. May he soon be reunited with those he loved at the arrival of Moshiach, whose reality he believed in so deeply. Roi, you humble us. Your example obligates us to become a better human beings and better Jews each day God grants us on earth. May Roi's memory be an eternal blessing.

A Real Man
A rare act of total altruistic heroism. His family must be proud and consolated. We should be humble. And proud to have brothes like Roi Klein.

Wow thank you for sharing this touching real life experience. As I'm trying to write through my tears, it just shows me how happy I am to be part of the Jewish nation. Wow.

Deeply touched!!!
I am deeply touched and truly inspired by this man in making the ultimate sacrifice for his comrades. He lived as he died loving his G-d with every fibre of his being and equally loving his neighbours. We need to all learn from his example regardless of the personal cost. May HaShem continue to bless Sarah Klein and the whole family as they bravely face each new day!!!
