Karin, Rinat and Natalie, the daughters of Fernando Simon Merman and Louis Har, who were released tonight in a dramatic operation in Bel Rafih and arrived in Israel alive, visited the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Ohel last week, where they prayed for their speedy release.
The girls were staying at a Chabad home in the Five Towns neighborhood, along with Clara Marman, Fernando's sister, who was released in the POW deal, and Gabriela and Mia Kleinberg, who were held with their parents in captivity in Gaza. This morning, like all the people of Israel, they were informed of the good news.
During a meeting they held at a Chabad house, they were asked in the audience: What do you need from us? Do we need to raise funds, to do something? And they answered: No, we only want to raise awareness. People have already returned to their lives and everything is normal and our father is still a prisoner in Gaza with other prisoners and abductees Another question arose in the audience: What do you think Israel should do? And the groom answered: We do not pretend to say exactly, only that they must not disappear from consciousness.
Then the rabbi came up to Lipskar and said: It's not really the government, it's not the IDF either, it's only God and the solution will come from Him alone. I ask that you take upon yourself something in matters of Torah and mitzvot, something that is difficult for you to say to God, here I have made a sacrifice for you, Now do a miracle for me.
The daughter took it upon herself to light candles. The groom agreed to take on the laying of tefillin. He asked, can I start next week? Rabbi Lipsker answered, no, you start tomorrow! So that you already have a vessel for blessing. The groom agreed, and the crowd rallied to buy Tefillin for him.
The daughter burst into tears and asked, could she get another pair of tefillin for her father when he is released? And of course she received the pair of tefillin, which her father will start placing in Israel now, after Israel was released from the cruel captivity of Hamas.
