Just wanted to put a face to the name for all of you. This is captured IDF soldier, 19-year old Gilad Shilat of Mizpe Hila in the Galilee. Sorry that the picture did not come out very clearly.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Thanks for the updates. I'll be scrounging around your blog for more over the next few days.
I will be hoping he will come home safe and sound, despite this recent article:
