I am just going to put up the story of these two young people as it was sent to me. Financially I am unable to do much at the moment, (I can't even help myself), but if I can inspire someone else to give them a hand, well and good. I have published bank details for those of you who would like to help them through the Shomron Liaison office.
This it their story. I have reproduced it as it was sent to me. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. hashem should bless them to build a house that stands and may they merit to see the rebuilding not only of their house, but of the third Beit Hamikdash.
Dear friends,
Four months ago, Yisca
Federman and Elyasaf Oyerbach got married.
The young couple had
decided to build their house in Havat Gilead, in the Shomron. Elyasaf was expelled
from his house in Neve Dekalim which was in Gush Katif (Gaza strip). After
being deported from his home, he went to the beautiful Shomron Mountains and
built a new house. He hoped that this will be the place he will be able to put
down roots.
Unfortunately, the bulldozers were sent by
the authorities to this house too. The house was destroyed completely. Elyasaf did
not give up and he started all over again- determined to build another house.
It wasn't long before Yisca joined his efforts.
Like him, she too was deported from her home
which was in the Federman's farm in the Hebron Mountains. In the middle of the night police troops
broke into her family's house, forced her 8 younger siblings out to the cold,
dark night and destroyed the house and everything that was in it. The very next
day she went back to the ruins of the house and started clearing them. Her
family rebuilt the house, and again it was destroyed by the Israeli police. 6
times they built their house and 6 times it was dismantled. No wonder that
Yisca joined Elyasaf in rebuilding his house at Havat Gilad.
Yisca and Elyasaf spent
all of their savings and all of the money they got for their wedding to build a
beautiful, well equipped house.
Words can't describe the
joy of watching the young couple establish the foundation of their new home. So
many tears were shed, prayers said, and hopes wished for them to get to this
exciting moment.
On
Monday Tamuz 5th, in broad day light Arab intruders broke daringly
into their house. The plunderers broke the furniture, spilt the content of the
closets and set fire to the house in three different spots. When Yisca and
Elyasaf returned home from work, they saw smoke coming out of the house. They
immediately called the firemen, but despite all their efforts, the house was
completely burnt. All they could do was sit and watch their dream house burn
up.
This brave young couple's
story is not a story of privet people. This is a story of courageous young
people who were born into a life of caring for our people's future. Their life
is a life of devotion to the Jewish people and for the holy land of Israel. Not
only that they did not seek a more comfortable life, but they chose to be
pioneers and conquer the hills of Samaria. It wasn't an easy choice, but they have
a strong and undeniable faith that this is the right thing to do. That this is
the best way they can act in the behalf of our people, our land and our Torah.
Not all of us have their
mental strength. Not all of us can choose to lead our life the way they do- so unselfish,
so devoted to the cause. But many of us feel that their struggle is our
struggle and their pain is our pain. Let us not be indifferent! Let each and
one of us, open our hearts and our wallets and help them. Let us all be part in
this courageous act of conquering the land.
May G-d bless us in all of what we do, and may he help us in the task of
maintaining the land of Israel.
