Commemorating Binyahu Malat's Legacy of Faith and Dedication to Israel
Binyahu Malat is remembered not only as a fighter and settler but also as a symbol of faith, self-sacrifice, and love for the Land of Israel. A personal recollection from twelve years ago describes Malat studying Torah early one morning in the settlement of Ahia, deeply connected to the verse about God's name being called upon Israel and inspiring fear among the nations. He shared a story about his tefillin, which he once feared were invalid, but after placing them near a junction and seeing local Arabs flee in fear, he took it as a sign of divine protection. This story exemplified his profound faith and embodiment of the scripture.
Malat was portrayed as a man of both Torah and action, gentle in study yet courageous in battle. His dedication to settling and defending the land alongside his wife Esther and friends was marked by joy and a strong sense of mission, even under harsh conditions. The author reflects on how these experiences deepened his own connection to the land and understanding of their struggle.
The article calls upon God to bring justice and redemption, lamenting the ongoing bloodshed of Jewish lives and praying for divine retribution. It honors Malat as part of the lineage of Israeli freedom fighters who sacrificed for the nation and vows to continue his path by building and settling the land with faith, humility, and bravery. The message closes with a promise that Malat’s legacy will live on in the hearts of the people, affirming "In your blood, I live. In your blood, I live."
