- Q. Kevodo, This week we experienced a really great sign and message of Hashem. As recorded in YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem: “It was the bodies of two hostages which were recovered in a daring military operation in the Khan Younis area of Gaza overnight last Wednesday and returned to Israel.
During the October 7 massacre, Gadi Haggai, H’yd, 72, and his wife, Judith Weinstein Haggai, H’yd, 70, were brutally murdered while on their morning walk on the kibbutz and their bodies were abducted by terrorists from the Mujahideen Brigade, the terror group that abducted and murdered the Bibas family, H’yd.
Their deaths were confirmed in December 2023.
The location of their bodies was now by miracle discovered during a Shin Bet interrogation of a captured terrorist.
The rescue operation was carried out by IDF forces under the Southern Command with the aid of the Shin Bet, special forces, and Military Intelligence.
Gadi and Judith were both US citizens, and Judith also held Canadian citizenship. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem).
What does that mean for us and how should we react?
A. Thanks for your question. It induced me to write a “That Is” article on this week parshas Naso about it, that you can read on line.
No doubt that their spiritual return is a clear most important sign, that Hashem is protecting the Kedoshim murdered, and that is the truthful completion of their lives, and also it is one that gives birth to a new beginning.
It is the start of a deep, intimate relationship between Hashem and Klal Yisrael.
