Rabbi David Stav Urges Support for Gilad Farm Families Amid World Cup Final

Rabbi David Stav, chairman of the Tzohar Rabbinical Organization, addressed the contrast between the widespread viewing of the World Cup final and the recent devastating fire that destroyed homes in Gilad Farm, a settlement in the West Bank. In a video released on the "Mishav" channel, Rabbi Stav called on the public to show mutual responsibility and assist the families who lost their property.

He acknowledged the pain caused by the fire but emphasized that life cannot come to a complete halt. "No one is asking us to mourn all day and avoid watching or playing the game," he said. However, he stressed the moral obligation and solidarity required towards the settlers affected by the disaster.

Rabbi Stav urged people to consider what they have done to help their brothers and sisters in Gilad Farm, whether through kind words, phone calls, or financial aid. He concluded by appealing to viewers to think of the families before enjoying the game and to offer something to ease their pain, noting that even a small donation or kind word would be beneficial both to the families and to those offering support.
