Yesterday, the bodies of Yarden Bibas’ family were laid to rest. On Oct 7, he and his wife Shiri decided that he should go out and fight Hamas, leaving Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir at home in the bomb shelter, rather than surrender together. They were taken as POWs separately, he was released around 500 days later on Feb 1 2025, and no one was able to say for sure what became of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir. Eventually after a long process, their bodies were released, and it was discovered they had been murdered in captivity after only about one week.
In a glaring spiritual misunderstanding, Yarden prayed to Shiri as if she is now capable of watching his life and giving him directions while she is departed and on the other side. Let us pray that his spiritual eyes will be enlightened.
Pray and consider support for our work.
