A large delegation greeted the arrival of about 100 Jewish orphans from Zhytomyr at Ben-Gurion Airport on Sunday, including Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, his wife Gilat, Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, and Absorption Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata.
The flight was sponsored by Chabad of Romania.
A total of three special flights are landing at Ben-Gurion Airport on Sunday with about 300 immigrants from Ukraine.
The Rav of Zhytomyr and western Ukraine, HaRav Shlomo Wilhelm and his wife, serve as parents to the children along with the devoted staff.
Rabbi Shlomo Wilhelm (my uncle) and the 120 orphans from Zhytomir🇺🇦 arrived in Israel and were greeted by 🇮🇱Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. They will remain there until the situation in Ukraine is safe enough for them.
🌹Keep on praying🙏 for Peace🕊️ in Ukraine🇺🇦!

ב”ה for the wonderful Zionists & מדינת ישראל and יום-העצמאות that these refugees have where to go to, unlike the victims & refugees of WW2 who tragically had nowhere to run to
כל המקיים נפש אחת מישראל מעלה עליו הכתוב כאילו קיים עולם מלא
Oy, I don’t ask for nisyonos. Please, YWN, you’re affecting my ability to perform the great Mitzvah of hating resha’im. What can I do? Oy, the Eibishter should just be moichel zein. I know they are cockroaches, and I wish he wouldn’t place his tamei hand on a sweet yiddishe boy, but seeing these videos, it’s hard to keep that at the forefront of my mind. Oy. Everyone should do teshuva, and Hashem should save all Yidden!
Dear Yashar, perhaps the war in Europe will cause Bennet to do Teshuvah. Let’s hope he actually does Teshuvah!
P.S. I do not endorse Bennet as a PM
Amen
it seems that Hakatan is strangely & uncommonly silent when it comes to news such as this of the “evil Zionist state” rescuing Jews from a war-torn country…
I daven it should stay this way for all future posts.
