"Asks you to read the family's reaction to the slander against my husband and understand how evil can be when the finger is light on the keyboard," A synagogue in the city needs to be renovated.
She concluded the post with the words: "Please allow us to mourn on the days of Shiva without engaging in defense against vicious attacks."
The Ben Yiftach family responded to recent events: "We are shocked by the discourse on social media and in the media in the heinous attempt to link our beloved son Oren the 14th to the criminal attack that he himself is a victim of.
Oren worked as an honest and innocent shuttle driver who worked for a living.
Just as a taxi driver does not check who gets in a taxi, so he is not required to check work permits or stays.
This is in contrast to a contractor who employs workers. "
"Oren drove a rabbi to a Torah lesson and there is no dispute about that. According to the media, it is possible that at the end of this trip he was asked to drive workers to renovate a synagogue and he did so only without knowing of course that it was his death drive. To the synagogue with an ax and a knife and massacred it as in the darkest periods in the Diaspora of massacre of Jews.
The family is now focusing on the severe grief that is another blow to a series of disasters that have befallen the family in recent years.
All our thoughts are to help the widow and 6 children deal with the terrible rift.
We all hope that the damned terrorists will be captured and executed exactly in the way they ended Oren's life.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
