"In an extensive piece in The New Yorker, Goldberg describes a conversation with Anat Cohen, a resident of the Jewish quarter of Hebron. “I asked her how she could let her son play amid the barbed wire and soldiers and barricades, and with snipers in the hills above. ‘Hebron is ours,’ she said. ‘Why shouldn’t he play?’ ‘Because he could get killed,’ I said. ‘There’s a bullet out there for each one of us,’ she said. 'But you can always die. At least his death here would sanctify God’s name.'”

Goldberg went on to ask Cohen how she reconciled her decision to live in Hebron with an even greater Jewish imperative (mitzvah) — the sanctity of life — and in this case, the sanctity of her children’s lives. “She glared at me. ‘Hellenizers’ — secular Jews — ‘will never understand,’ she said with contempt” before telling him the story of Hanna, who ordered her seven sons to disobey an order by King Antiochus to bow to a statue (Tractate Gittin 57b). After the last of her sons was executed, the mother threw herself off a roof. The Talmud states that upon her death, a voice was heard from heaven singing “A happy mother of children.” "
