So you will be there, especially when Liat, Rom and Rotem also gave the green light
“Liat is a bit stressed at the moment from the thought that someone would want to hurt me there precisely because my son was a soldier and fell in the army. She asked the Olympic Committee and the Judo Association to have more security for me there because of all the association and attribution to the son of a fallen soldier.”
Her concern can be understood. After the 7th of October it is impossible to underestimate the matter
“I agree. Listen, Liat is a lioness. She is truly something special and everyone saw that in the things she carried at Omer’s grave and of course on Shiva and ever since. Last night she entered Omer’s room, called me and said: ‘Do you realize that we don’t have a child? Do you realize that Omer Won’t come back?’, but at least we express them and it’s good to take them out. Sometimes he wouldn’t leave the room for two days, just sleeping and we asked him why he didn’t come out They’ve been going for more than nine months in this heat, in these conditions.”
A little over three weeks since Omar’s fall, what have you learned regarding him that you didn’t know?
“As much as I knew, I knew nothing regarding the special child I had. Seven people I didn’t know came here who told us how much Omar helped and volunteered and helped them. A woman he would pick up the baskets for every time he saw her. People who knew him and he helped them. Omar He never said that he was the son of Oren. He never chose the path of his life. He did not help Omar or the other children I influenced someone for them. That’s how he asked and that’s what he did.”
You weren’t home much because of the work in the national team and the endless flights
“It’s true. I missed quite a bit of their growth because of that, but every time I was present in Israel, I was present until the end. I had an excellent relationship with Omar and the other children. One small look is enough to skip a month of not seeing them due to being a national team coach and traveling for training camps or competitions”.
