This is a Hebrew only Pocket Size Edition of Eikh Livnot Ḥayyim.
Lieutenant Hadar Goldin was a commander in an elite reconnaissance unit of the IDF. He was killed in Gaza tunnels by Hamas operatives in Operation Protective Edge; his body has yet to be returned for burial. While on active duty, as he did while was in yeshiva, Hadar studied Mesilat Yesharim (Path of the Righteous) the work of mussar by the 18th century thinker the "Ramhal" (Rabbi Moshe Haim Luzzato). Hadar was even carrying a tiny copy of the work under his uniform when he was killed.
Eikh Livnot Hayim (How to Build a Life) is the newest edition of Mesilat Yesharim to be published, along with Hadar’s personal insights, thoughts, and commentary. He wrote these notes during his time at the pre-military academy (Mechina) in Yeshivat Bnei David Eli and while serving in combat. This extraordinary volume features Hadar's notes in his very own handwriting, digitalized for this edition. The intent is that readers study the work of Mesilat Yesharim together with Hadar, b'havruta. The book is being published with the full cooperation of his family, as part of an international campaign to 'bring Hadar home' so he can be given a proper Jewish burial.
