The words in the video above are: "And this [belief in G-d, ed.] has sustained our forefathers and us, because not just one enemy has tried to destroy us, but the Holy One, Blessed be He, rescues us from their hands", words from the Passover Haggadah that are especially apt this holiday of Purim.
The video was filmed at the special show of support held Saturday night at Itamar, where five members of one family, including a 3-month-old baby, were savagely murdered eight days ago on Friday night by terrorists.
Organizers said that over 3,000 people attended, travelling to the community after the Purim holiday Megillah reading instead of going home for festivities. In addition, the students at Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva in Jerusalem, where Purim is celebrated on Sunday night, cut their planned program short to travel to the town. Among the public figures who addressed the crowd were MKs Uri Ariel and Michael Ben-Ari of the National Union, and Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) who called on the government to protect Israeli communities and to realize that these stalwart people are the pioneering Zionists of today.
