Moriah Singer, the bereaved sister of Rina Shnerb, gave birth to a daughter over the weekend, naming her after her late aunt.

Last August, 17-year-old Rina Shnerb was killed in a terrorist bombing attack near the Ein Bubin spring outside of Dolev in western Samaria, while she was hiking with her father and brother.

Terrorists remotely detonated the bomb while the three Israelis were hiking, killing Rina and seriously injuring her father and brother.

This morning, the latest addition to the Shnerb family was named Emunah Rina, after her murdered aunt.

“With praise and thanks to God, we are happy to announce that our daughter, Moriah Singer, and her husband, Neriya, had a daughter, the couple’s first child, on the Sabbath. She is the fifth generation (of descendants) to Holocaust survivors. Today she was named ‘Emunah Rina’,” the family said in a statement Monday morning.

“Our grandmother, who survived Auschwitz, used to say every time a child or grandchild or great-grandchild was born, that this was her victory over the Nazis. We also see this as a kind of victory over the accursed terrorists who are trying to cut off the continuation of the Jewish people. With God’s help, we will continue to have many children, who will continue to Jewish people and fill the paths and springs of the Land of Israel.”

“These women are those who bear the children – the new life into the world – in contrast to the leader of the murderers, who is also a woman - Khalida Jarrar – the accursed terrorist who destroys life under the cover of a ‘human rights’ organization. In contrast to them, we dedicate our lives to creating new life.”
