About a week after the fire at Gilad Farm consumed her home, terror widow Yael Shevach published a moving message on social media. In a post she shared today (Monday), she invites the people of Israel to the dedication of the new home on Tu B'Av 5788, saying: 'Mark it down. Tu B'Av 5788. Housewarming of the Shevach family in Gilad Farm. This is an open invitation to everyone.' The fire, which broke out last week, left the family homeless and also burned personal mementos and precious items from her husband, Rabbi Raziel Shevach, may God avenge his blood, who was murdered in a shooting attack in 2018. Moments after the fire, Shevach shared her difficult feelings: 'The house is gone... I'm not comfortable. I want to curl up in the ashes that were once my bed.' Now she looks ahead and demonstrates strength and faith.
