Shiri, Ariel, & Kfir Bibas z”l, brutally murdered by #Hamas, have started their journey to be laid to rest in #Israel.
The words of Bialik burn in my ear: “…cursed be the man who says: Avenge! No such revenge - revenge for
the blood of a little child - has yet been devised by Satan.”
יהי זכרם ברוך

This photo is circulating as “proof” the Israeli hostages were not only treated well by #Hamas but they even kissed them goodbye before they left.
What they won’t tell or show you:
1)The Hamas film director telling him to give the kiss.
2) The hostage made clear this was under duress.

At the far end of the Majdanek Extermination Camp, next to the gas chamber, stands a memorial.
The ashes of 18,000 Jews, murdered in one or two days, were placed in the domed memorial, exposed for all to see.
Carved into the stones is this warning:
“Let our fate be a warning to you.”

Today, Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel return home.
Shiri will not see her husband.
Ariel and Kfir will not see their father.
They will return home in body bags, kidnapped and then murdered by #Hamas.
Today, even the Heavens cry.

#Hamas and #IslamicJihad notified the world that they murdered Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. They did so for one reason: Because they were Jews.
May their souls be bound up in the bonds of life.
May The Holy and Blessed one provide redress for their murder.

I oppose the Trump Administration’s entire approach AND there are other ways to express your anger about what’s happening in US without resorting to twisting the stories of Shoah victims to fit your argument. Anne Frank was murdered for one reason and one reason only: She was a Jew.

I’m not sure which rabbi Mr. Barber @ccdude8.Bsky.social is referring to or what qualifies him to label the rabbi a “so-called rabbi,” however, it is safe to say that over 75% of non-Orthodox US diaspora Jews support Israel and DON’T support PM Netanyahu. Here in Israel, 80+% don’t support him.

After 483 days as a hostage of The Islamic Jihad, Agam Berger, the last of the female soldiers held hostage in Gaza, is now back in #Israel and on her way to reunite with her family!

Romi, Doron, and Emily are Home!
I am overwhelmed with joy for their families.
And…my heart hurts for those who watched the terrorist who murdered their family members go free today.
Please remember that this is a complicated time and people are feeling so many different things all at once.

The @IDF just announced that the body of Oron Shaul z”l, which Hamas has held since the end of Operation Tzuk Eytan, has been recovered. His family will finally be able to give him a proper burial in Israel.
His memory will always be a blessing.
יהי זכרו ברוך.

1 lit Channukiah for the Mitzvah
1 unlit for the 100 hostages who cannot light this year.
1 prayer that if there is going to be a Channukah miracle this year that it be the return of all the hostages before the end of the eighth day of the holiday.
