Ori Ansbacher Z"L

Shabbat started with the horrible news about the murder of a beautiful, young, innocent Jewish girl at the outskirts of Jerusalem. Signs of horrible violence were seen on her body. When Shabbat ended we heard the news that the perpetrator was found - a Palestinian man from Hebron, who left his home with a knife that day, saw Ori Ansbacher HY"D in a forest near a place in which she volunteered, and killed her. His family is now going to receive a MONTHLY SALARY of around 5,500 US Dollars for the rest of their lives, as a prize for this murder. How horrible and twisted. It just strengthens the forces of evil in this world. It is truly, indeed, the war of the children of darkness against the children of light. The heart is full of pain for the brutal loss of such young, good, beautiful life. May HaShem avenge her blood by eradicating all evil from people's hearts and from this world, speedily in our days, AMEN.

Her family, acquaintances and friends said that Ori was a rare soul, constantly giving to others and trying to make the world a better place. Since Ori died as a martyr, on the sanctification of the name of G-d, I'm sure that her soul sits highly close to G-d's throne, praying for us and serving as a sacrifice for the rest of us: "But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed." (Isaiah 53:5)

It is upon every person in this world who loves G-d, who loves goodness, to do everything they can to fight against the darkness by increasing light in the world, by doing good deeds to the best of our ability, to not be afraid to say speak out against evil deeds and evil people. Politically Correctness can be a very dangerous disease. If you are afraid to fight against evil because it is not P.C., you're helping the forces of evil in our world. P.C. is the disease that is now slowly killing Europe. Think about it.

So sad.

And I ask you, readers of this blog, did the media in your country report about this? Let me guess - it didn't, right? Jewish blood that is spilled is not a 'story'. Europe is giving so much money to the Palestinian Authority - do they care that this is what their money is being used for?

Dear, sweet, beautiful Ori, may you rest in peace in your resting place above, and may your soul be blessed forever for the huge sacrifice that you have made for us.
