For the first time, Omri faces a new school year without his twin
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10

Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for August 27, 2008.

For Ohad Gilor, going back to school next week will be especially hard, because for the first time, he'll have to do it alone, without his twin brother Omri.

Omri was killed four months ago, when a mound of sand he was playing on near his home in the Sharon region collapsed, burying him alive. Since then, his family has had to get used to a brand new reality.

About two months before his tragic death, Omri told his mother that if anything should happen to him, he wanted his organs donated to save other people's lives. And indeed, his organs saved five lives, including those of three children. That's what helps keeps his family going.
