Chananel Gez, the husband of Tze’ela Gez, H’yd, who was murdered in a terror attack on Wednesday evening, expressed steadfast emunah, thanking Hashem he remained alive even as he mourned his wife and absorbed the fact that he is the sole parent of his four children, including his newborn who is in serious condition.

He wrote to his community and friends: “Hello friends, today is a sad day. Last night, my wife was murdered. We were on our way to the hospital to happily give birth to our fourth child,” he wrote.

“Of course I am broken –  that is natural – but I also thank Hashem that I stayed alive. I will be strong to continue and be a light to the entire world.”

“Because we will never let them break us.”

“I am very, very sad, but I will continue to fight for the welfare of our people. I love you all. We will survive, we will succeed, and we will prosper.”

“Hashem is one – in good times and bad, it doesn’t matter. If it’s from my one and only King – I accept it with love.”

Gez also revealed a screenshot from his late wife’s last correspondence with a photographer, whom she wanted to hire for the upcoming bris.
