On the 18th of Iyar (May 14th), at 10:00 PM, the silence of the night was shattered by gunfire.

On a road just meters from her home, a mother’s life was stolen — a soul of depth and kindness, a woman whose every breath was dedicated to others.

Tzeela Gez, a devoted mother of three and pregnant with her fourth, was on her way to bring new life into the world when evil cut her journey short. The world lost a gifted therapist, a pillar of her community, and most of all, a mother whose love knew no bounds.

She never made it to the hospital.

Her newborn son entered the world without her. He will never know the warmth of her touch or the sweetness of her voice — but he will know her light.

Because we will make sure of it.

We, as a nation, are no strangers to grief. But even in our darkest hours, we rally, we rise — and we carry one another.

Today, we carry Tzeela’s children.

Her husband – shattered but resilient –  is determined to raise them with the values their mother lived and breathed: compassion, dignity, strength, and love.

But he cannot do it alone.

We are reaching out to every heart that beats with kindness, to every soul that trembles at the pain of our brothers and sisters.

Let us show these orphans that though their mother is gone, they are not alone.

Let us give them stability, support, and comfort.
Let us flood their lives with the light their mother gave so freely.
Let us bring healing where there is heartbreak.

Donate now.

Partner in supporting the Gez family.
Bring light back to Tzeela’s children.

Because while her newborn may never feel her arms wrapped around him — he will feel our embrace.

Am Yisrael does not forget. Am Yisrael does not abandon.
Tzeela’s light will shine forever — through us.
