Dear Children, You may never meet me, for I live far, far away. You lost your parents, your brothers, and your sister in this incomprehensible horror. Throughout the world we cry in grief with you. Were our arms long enough, we would wrap them around the world and rock you all and hug you, until all of our tears run dry. Were our eyes far-sighted enough, we would rejoice in every mitzvah that we will see you yet do. Were our ears fine enough, we would cry with joy at the many simchas you have yet to celebrate. Could we shout loud enough, we would proclaim how proud your parents are of you, just because you are. Know that even though they are no longer here, they would wish to tell the world of their love for you - how special you are. May the memory of your parents be for a blessing. May we all only celebrate simchas in the future. Sarah Shulamis, Houston, TX

ReplyDeleteDear Mishpachat Fogel, I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope and pray that Hashem provides for you all that you require to overcome this pointless tragedy. May you continue to follow the path of the righteous members of your family who died al kiddush Hashem.
ReplyDeleteDear dear children, I cried when I read of the death of your parents and siblings. How brave now you will have to be in the days that lie ahead. May He who comforts Israel and neither slumbers nor sleeps draw very close to you and may you feel his presence. I posted and have told as many people that I could about your story and I will never forget the pictures I have seen. I wish very much that you had not had to go through this. Praying for you.

Raphael and Esther Asna Cohen, Montreal, Canada
I am so sorry. What happened to this family, just makes your blood curl. To see the vile acts of evilperpretrated upon this beautiful family, chills a person to their bones. Here was a peaceful family just doing what they were commanded to do, to rebuild and resettle in their homeland. What exactly does justice look like and what would compensate this family and community for the evil that was visited upon them? Again, I am so sorry, this community and this family will be in mine and my families prayers.
ReplyDeleteDear Fogel Family (of Blessed Memory), and to all Israel:
ReplyDeleteI am a Bible-believing Christian. I join with all of you in grief and horror at this latest outpouring of the innocent blood of Israel. I am in prayer and concern DAILY for the well-being (shalom) of Jerusalem and for all Israel(Ps.122; Is.62). I want you to know, that you are NOT alone in your ordeal of sorrow. Around the world, people of G-d weep with you, and we turn to the Holy Word for comfort and guidance in such a time as this. We take renewed encouragement from the Holy Word (The Tenakh), that the G-d of Israel WILL strengthen and reward you to POSSESS the Land (Ha'Aretz), in obedience to your everlasting covenant with Him as His People. We join with you to bless, glorify, and sanctify the Great and Holy NAME of the L-rd G-d of Israel, even unto the shedding of our own blood as witness.

We are shocked, so sad, utterly disturbed by the horrible news about the beautiful Fogel family. There are no words to describe the pain we feel with you - and still we know that we certainly can't imagine the pain the immediate family feels. We just want to assure you of our love and prayer and we would like to remind you that the Almighty God, whom we often do not understand, is there for you. Call unto Him in honest prayer, He is listening and He very much understands your pain and He will comfort you. May He bless the children, who had to say shalom to their beloved with extra blessing and bestow to them the joy of the Lord! With much love and prayer, Jacob and Elisheva Damkani

ReplyDeleteI heard Psalm 121 for the first time the other night.Even though I had read it before, this time the way that it was spoken seemed to illuminate in a way that was so heavy. I thought I would leave it as a prayer from a family who has been burdened by your tragic losses. We love you and know that the mighty arm of God shall see you through this. Thank you for your example of faith through this storm! I pray that the LORD will lay you on my heart every time that you may need to be comforted.
ReplyDeleteLORD, comfort the Fogel's during this time and strengthen them in a way that only you can. I pray this from your written Word in Psalm 121, 1I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
3He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5The LORD is your keeper;
the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7The LORD will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8The LORD will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.

ReplyDeleteMuch Love to you and all the beautiful Jewish people in Isreal from a gentile Christian believer in Toronto Canada
To the Fogel famliy and our Jewish friends all over the world, our most sincereist condolences go out to you. We are from a midsize midwest community in the U.S and as we see the terrorism and terror that abounds in the world, being Christian Zionist we see out LORD JESUS and The Holy Sprit have prepared us for such times. As we see the move of south and central America as well as the EU excepting the P.A as a false state. G_d told us in Zacheriah that Jeruselmem would become a burden to the world.
ReplyDeleteMany countires and their people see that Israel needs the U.S as an ally, they should know that Israel is God's chosen people and land. They do not need the help of any ally such as the U.S. God will have his vengenace for the Fogels and all things evil done to Israel.
Dear children,
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you and keep you. May His grace be upon you. I pray that you may never know another moment of pain or heartbreak in this world and that you know that many are thinking of you and praying for you.

To the members of the Fogel family who will not enjoy the beginning of peace this Shabbat for you are already in a peaceful eternity, I think about you often. Every time I turn on my phone, I see your loving faces - you're my background image.
ReplyDeleteTo those who remain behind, I think of you and will return to Itamar on my next visit to Israel to continue my support.
The only thing I could do when I heard about the heinous attack was to weep , weep for the loss of your mom , dad , siters and brothers ! Know that in my heart , you will allways be my brother and sister and your sorrow is our sorrow , your grief is our grief !
ReplyDeleteWords cannot express the loss I feel. Even though I'm not related by blood I feel the loss in spirit profoundly. I live far from Itamar but in thought I am with you, you whom have lost your loved ones in such a horrible and senseless tragedy.
ReplyDeleteI have posted your story wherever I could so that people will remember and not forget. Hopefully it is of some comfort that you do not stand alone but I cannot imagine a loss like this.

From Rotterdam, Netherlands
There are no perfect words to express the grief that I feel for all personally affected by this tragedy, I can say, however, that my heart breaks for those who suffer from loss and shock at this time. I do wish, nevertheless, that those who have lost their loved ones feel Ha'Shem's presence, albeit in some way, and believe that Ha'Shem's love will heal the immense sorrow that is felt by so many at this time. May the members of the Fogel family who are now in heaven rest in peace for eternity, and to those family members (especially the children) may only happiness and simchas follow you for the rest of your days. And, to the entire town of Itamar, (a town I personally adore) may you grow and become a great force that will strengthen the love for Eretz Israel by the Jewish people, both here in Israel, and in the Galut. Once again, many condolences and may you be comforted by all who share in your grief.
ReplyDeleteDear precious Fogel family and precious Israel,
ReplyDeletemy prayers are there for you. I pray that you find strength in God's great love for you in this huge time of sorrow. The dear faces of these innocent ones will not be ignored by the Lord.

Please know many many Americans and Christians love you and wish you peace and safety and fairness.

My heart goes out to Tamar, Roi and Yishai, their entire extended family, the people of Itamar and the people of Israel. I was shocked and horrified at the senseless execution of the Fogels in Itamar. It made me cry for them, for their family and for this world where such things still happen.
ReplyDeleteI tried to leave a long message yesterday which never appeared. So I’m writing another.
Hadas was a heavenly, little angel, Elad was a beautiful young child, Yoav was a handsome boy and their parents, Udi and Ruth sound like wonderful, loving parents. They were a blessing to their community.
The worthless monsters who murdered these decent, caring people clearly have no hearts and no souls. They are the darkest sort of evil that exists today on this planet.
Tamar, you are a remarkably poised, intelligent, and lovely young lady for your age. I saw your interview and was struck by your strength of character and calm, mature conversation. You have an inner beauty that is quite rare and it shines through on your pretty face. You have been given a terribly heavy burden, and I hope you get enough emotional help so you can grow up to be the well-balanced, truly outstanding woman I see within you.
I will be sending prayers to Tamar, Roi and Yishai for many years to come. You are all a part of your parents and they will live on through the three of you. I am certain your parents were, and would continue to be, very proud of you. Their love will be with you always.
I hope I can finally post this message. I am sure there are many, many others who are trying to send you condolences on this website and also having trouble getting through to you.
Blessings to Tamar, Roi and Yishai, their family and friends. May the love and prayers flowing to you from hundreds of thousands of good people all around the world sustain you in the coming days and years.
Carol from California, U.S.A.
We are praying for you, precious ones. You are not alone! There are many Christians here in America that love and support Israel, and that same love is also for you. May God bless you and keep you! Rest in His loving arms. Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand I will not be shaken.
ReplyDeleteTo the Fogel Family,
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for your whole family. I have been praying for all of you and will continue to do so. Please know that as a Christian, I have searched the sciptures and prayed that God would give me insight as to why he allows the righteous to suffer so much. I do not have a clear answer. But I do know that God is Just, He Comforts and Blesses those who are Mourning, He is Soveriegn, He Loves You, He is Merciful, and the life that we live on this earth will be full of testing and trials that builds up our faith in Him. My whole family is sending our Love to You. May God comfort you during this time of such great sorrow.

ReplyDeleteMy prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of need.
Dear Family, You are in our prayers. May the God of all Creation shine His face upon you and give you comfort in this difficult time. We pray that His abundant mercy and grace will over shadow the depth of despair that this tragedy has brought to your lives. We pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem and for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit upon the Jewish people, their leaders, and warriors. Blessed be the name of the Lord. It is in Him that we rejoice for He only is good and righteous and true. Our hearts break for your loss; they ache at the very thought of such a heinous crime. The Lord spoke to Moses and instructed him to speak to the children of Israel: "Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. 'So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.'” Numbers 6:23-27 May this come to pass for you and all Israel.

How could such a shocking tragedy be possible?! There is no answer.....our prayers are with you, as much as we can be on the other side of the world, we are with you and thinking of you. We had a memorial service tonight in our community in honour of the Fogel family. May Hashem comfort you and bless you always.

Our words cannot express the emotions we feel at your enormous loss... We believe God when he says in Psalm 85:8, "He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones..." We pray that you will know that peace...
ReplyDeletePsalm 83
"O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
For, behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; and those who hate Thee have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against Thy people, and conspire together against Thy treasured ones......So pursue them with Thy tempest, and terrify them with Thy storm. Fill their faces with dishonor, that they may seek Thy name, O Lord. Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; and let them be humiliated and perish. That they may know that Thou alone, whose name is the Lord, art the Most High over all the earth."
We pray that this precious family will find comfort and peace during this difficult time...

O God, do not remain quiet; do not be silent and, O God, do not be still. For, behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; and those who hate Thee have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against Thy people, and conspire together against Thy treasured ones. They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more."......So pursue them with Thy tempest, and terrify them with Thy storm. Fill their faces with dishonor, that they may seek Thy name, O Lord. Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; and let them be humiliated and perish, that they may know that Thou alone, whose name is the Lord, art the Most High over all the earth."
May God bless you and Itamar as you stand strong in Him...

ReplyDeleteMy heart still breaks each time I see the images of such a beloved family. When I first read about this I was so disturbed that for three days I held it until I could no longer restrain the tears and openly wept. I saw how close in ages Hadas and Elad are to my own two children and could only grieve that such atrocity could be inflicted on innocents, the parents included. Know that the tears are not shed alone and that the world does indeed mourn. I pray God blesses you and all of Israel. My condolences and continued promise that myself and many others stand with Israel and especially the Fogel family.
