shiva call that the Prime Minister and Mrs. Netanyahu made
after my father died that left the most powerful impression
upon me. My father, Richard Pagano, a”h, passed away erev
Sukkot of 2010, and our family sat shiva in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu was then serving as Prime Minister, and I know
that there were important diplomatic discussions going on at
that time, because my husband was going back and forth on
the telephone with his counterpart at the White House.
Despite the fact that he was a sitting Prime Minister, and
despite the fact that he was attending to important matters
of state, the PM, along with his wife Sara, came to be men-
acham avel. And they didn’t just come and go. For almost an
hour and a half, they sat and spoke to all of us about our
father and about our family, and they empathized with us in
our loss. During that shiva call, I saw a very warm and a very
compassionate side of the Netanyahus that most people who
are only focused on Netanyahu as a statesman don’t really
have an opportunity to see.
