"The Father to the Son—the young men of the nation—the pure and innocent youth—allow the nation to transcend through their stainless sacrifice, which is the force that vanquishes evil, just as their blood replenishes the nation’s sacred soil, mingling perhaps with that of the fallen leader: The immortal community of 'honored dead'."
From Feldman's essay "Dying for the Motherland: Orthodox Christianity and the Invention of “Isaac” as a Jewish Military Hero"
