In this short film, Israel’s bereaved youth, young people who have lost brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers to terror and war over the past two years, send a warm and heartfelt hug to the families mourning in Australia.
"We send you a message of love and hope on wings of song- reaching across lands and oceans.
"We feel what you feel - and we love you very much.
"Sing with us. Raise your voices with us in Rabbi Nachman of Breslav's immortal words of comfort:
"'The whole world is a very narrow bridge, and the main thing is to have no fear at all.'"
Over 400 children from across Israel participating in OneFamily’s Winter camp for bereaved children sang a message of understanding, solidarity and love to the bereaved and injured children and the families of Bondi Beach in this inspiring way.
They sang from it atop Masada, unrehearsed, from the place where their common forebears showed immeasurable courage and love for their people and land while facing a cruel enemy - Massada, the site that is a symbol of strength, resilience, and endurance to the entire Jewish Nation for time immemorial.
"Be strong and steadfast - Am Yisrael Chai!" the children continued.
Sing along with them.
