Two widows of the “Swords of Iron” war got married this week in moving, poignant ceremonies of rebuilding and renewal.
Shaked Kogan married Shimi Lieberman, and Meitar Eliyahu wed Baruch Tzuri Nuked.
Shaked lost her husband, Res. Sgt. Maj. (res.) Dovi Kogan, a combat soldier in the Sayeret Shaldag unit, during a battle in Gaza at the beginning of the war. He was a brilliant aerospace engineer, on his way to completing a master’s degree at the Technion, and was called up for duty in Be’eri on Simchat Torah. They had three children together. Shimi lost his wife, Tchiya, three years ago. Tchiya grew up in Netzarim, Gush Katif, was a beloved mother and kindergarten teacher, and passed away after a brave battle with cancer.
In the announcement they shared at their engagement, they wrote:
“Shake off the dust, arise, put on your garments of glory, my people. Through the son of Yishai from Bethlehem, draw near to my soul and redeem it. With God’s help, we will enter into the covenant of marriage, Shimi and Shaked.”
חתונה מרגשת היום בצהריים של שקד אלבוחר שהתאלמנה מדובי כוגן הי"ד, לוחם שלדג שנפל בתחילת המלחמה בעזה, עם שימי ליברמן שהתאלמן לפני כשלוש שנים מאשתו תחיה ז"ל שנפטרה מסרטן❤️ pic.twitter.com/b5XpRI5jG9
