“I Did Four Funerals a Day:” Interview with Cantor Tzvi Grinhaim, On the Front Lines Together; Dec. 11, 2025

Author: Shanna Fuld December 11, 2025 Duration: 27:41

Cantor Tzvi Grinhaim — a spiritual leader, former Golani fighter and quiet hero has carried Israel through its darkest hours. His role began in the grimmest of places: the Shura army base, where he personally escorted victim bodies of October 7th — including infants — for burial, sometimes conducting four funerals a day.

Since then, through his initiative On the Front Lines Together, he has become a lifeline for wounded soldiers, widowed spouses, and newly orphaned children along Israel’s borders with Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and in Sheba Medical Center.

Today, he shares the heartbreak, resilience, and human stories behind the headlines — and why he refuses to step back from the people who need him most.

Veteran journalist Shanna Fuld curates and delivers the day's five most important stories, breaking down complex developments into digestible segments that are both informative and surprisingly engaging. Her reporting goes beyond the headlines, offering context that makes each topic accessible no matter your starting point.
