Highest rating documentary film on Israel's IBA channel 1, 2007Major Roi Klein was killed in the battle at Bint Jbeil in the Second Lebanon War. He died sacrificing himself to save his soldiers, as he leaped onto a hand grenade and cried out the 'Shma Yisrael' prayer. Roi Klein is nominated for the IDF Highest Medal of Honor, which his family will receive on his behalf. He had won a high citation for his actions in a previous battle, but almost none of his friends knew of this, as Klein modestly requested that his parents keep it a secret.Klein, an engineer by training, devoted family man, Torah scholar, soldier, and leader, excelled in many areas and was deeply devoted to them all.
