All proceeds from its sale are dedicated to the Or Ofir Foundation, which works to preserve the memory and legacy of Ofir Libstein of blessed memory, and to continue his social and values-driven work.

The book you hold is a personal and human document, rich with stories both small and great, that turn one person’s life story into a true legend. Through everyday moments alongside pivotal crossroads, Ofir’s character unfolds as open-hearted and action-oriented, revealing a form of leadership that is human, collegial, and values-based. A leadership that seems to be fading from our world, yet Ofir proved it is still possible, and that every one of us can choose it.

“May light and good prevail,” Ofir used to say. A sentence that was, for him, a way of life. In this book, readers become messengers of that same light. Not as memory alone, but as a living, breathing legacy, full of presence, that continues to illuminate the world and scatter within it sparks of generosity, responsibility, and hope.

The President, Isaac Herzog: “Ofir’s leadership was a source of profound admiration. His burning love for Kfar Aza, for Shaar HaNegev, and for the entire Gaza Envelope was a true force of nature, one that infused vitality, cohesion, and hope into an entire region. Ofir was a man of vision and action. In a program he wrote about a decade ago, he stated that ‘an essential part of the transition to a language of growth is changing our vocabulary to terms of hope, faith, and confidence.’ That language, Ofir’s language, is now ours to revive and to realize through our actions.”

Benny Gantz: “For me, and for many others, Ofir was an island of determination in a sea of challenges and instability. He could devote himself to the good and be resolute in bringing it to fruition. He was not a naive optimist. He decided that he would shape reality rather than be enslaved by circumstances.”

Miriam Peretz: “Ofir illuminated the world. He not only speaks about good, but he also does good. He loved the Land of Israel and walked it with his own feet, served it, and amplified good. He lived a life of action, of ‘turn from evil and do good,’ of respect for every person, of ‘seek peace and pursue it.’”

The book was written by Doron Amitai Libstein, Ofir’s brother, an international mentor, Chairman of Life Academy, and author of the bestselling book One The. Everything Happens for You. out of a bond of brotherhood and love, yet it speaks to the wider public and invites every reader to ask. What kind of leadership do I bring with me into the world?
