He later pursued higher education and was a student at Bar-Ilan University, where he studied art and was noted for his talent as an illustrator and painter.

"Hadar: The Final Peace," an exhibition celebrating the life and memory of Hadar Goldin, was held at the United Nations in New York, NY from September 14 through September 23, 2016. The exhibit was curated and shown through the efforts of Israel's Permanent Mission to the United Nations. It aimed to offer insights into Goldin's life, his passions, and the impact of his untimely death. Following the United Nations exhibit, the Park Avenue Synagogue in New York, NY, hosted "Hadar: Park Ave Synagogue Exhibit" from September 2016 through January 2017. The exhibition was a collaborative effort organized by the Park Avenue Synagogue and presented by Rabbi Elliot J. Cosgrove.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=admin |title=Home |url=https://www.hadargoldinfoundation.org/ |access-date=2023-12-05 |website=Hadar Goldin |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Military service ==
Goldin joined the IDF and served in the Givati Brigade, an infantry unit of the IDF. During his service, he rose to the rank of lieutenant. He was commended for his leadership skills and dedication to his unit.<ref name=":1" />

== Death and aftermath ==
On August 1, 2014, during a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Goldin was part of a group of soldiers attacked by Hamas militants. The incident, which broke the ceasefire, involved the militants emerging from a tunnel inside Gaza and ambushing Israeli soldiers, which led to the death of two soldiers and the presumed capture of Goldin, who was initially classified as missing in action.

The IDF initiated the [[Hannibal Directive]], a controversial military protocol used to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers even at the risk of endangering the life of the captured soldier. Despite intensive military efforts, Goldin was declared killed in action, and his death was confirmed after his remains were found.<ref name=":0" /> The handling of Goldin's case, specifically the enactment of the Hannibal Directive, led to significant debate in Israel and beyond about the ethics and effectiveness of such protocols.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Dozens of Innocents Killed in IDF's 'Hannibal' Protocol |language=en |work=Haaretz |url=https://www.haaretz.com/2014-08-04/ty-article/.premium/hannibal-protocol-employed-in-goldin-rescue-bid/0000017f-e4de-d568-ad7f-f7ff1a480000 |access-date=2023-12-05}}</ref>
