    Bnei Yehuda Raises 50,000 Shekels for Hostage Survivor Bibas

    Published on

    What’s Happening

    In a heartfelt show of solidarity, Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv soccer club and its devoted fans have successfully raised 50,000 shekels aimed at aiding the recovery of Yarden Bibas, a former hostage. The funds were gathered through sales of a special club jersey commemorating Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, who tragically lost their lives while held captive by Hamas.

    Why It Matters

    This initiative is a significant expression of the unity and kindness of the Israeli people, exemplifying their determination to support those enduring the aftermath of terrorism. The funds raised not only provide Yarden Bibas with essential support after his release but also honor the cherished memory of his family members who perished, imparting a message of resilience and faith.

    Context

    On October 7th, in what has been remembered as a harrowing assault, Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas were cruelly abducted from their Nir Oz home and subsequently killed while in captivity. Their remembrance is now enshrined in this memorial initiative by Bnei Yehuda, accompanied by a planned ceremony during an upcoming National League match and celebrations of the club’s youth divisions named after the Bibas family.

    What’s Next

    Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv will continue to demonstrate its commitment to not only creating a deep impact within its sporting community but also contributing positively to broader society. The club intends to perpetuate remembrance while leveraging its platform to furnish tangible support and recognize courage against adversity.
