Noam and Batya Breuer, a family of nine from the Samaria community of Havat Gilad, are asking the public to help rebuild their home, which was completely destroyed in the July wildfire. In a personal appeal, they described watching their home burn and choosing to see hope amid the destruction. The family noted that Noam served hundreds of reserve days, one son was wounded in Gaza, and a brother-in-law was killed in the war.
Noam and Batya Breuer, residents of the Samaria community of Havat Gilad for 20 years, have launched a fundraising campaign to rebuild their home, which was destroyed in the wildfire that swept through the community in July. In a statement published Tuesday evening, the couple described the loss of their home, which they built over two decades, as 'ashes' and said they are choosing to focus on rebuilding and hope. The family of nine includes children who serve in the IDF: one son was wounded during fighting in Beit Hanoun as a soldier in the Kfir Brigade, and another serves as a combat soldier in the Armored Corps. Noam Breuer served hundreds of reserve days, and his brother-in-law, Eyal Berkovich, was killed in the war. The July 18 wildfire, which authorities suspect was arson with a nationalist motive, destroyed approximately 30 buildings in Havat Gilad and left dozens of families homeless. Other families have launched similar fundraising appeals, as The Zioneer has reported. The Breuer family's campaign is being hosted on the givechak fundraising platform.
