Nir Amiti, a farmer from Kibbutz Lahav, canceled his schedule and drove to the Samaria community of Havat Gilad, bringing honey, olive oil, and fresh vegetables. He met Yael Shevach, whose home was destroyed in last week's wildfire, and a mother of ten. 'We have an amazing people,' Amiti said, expressing hope at the community's resilience.
Nir Amiti, a farmer from Kibbutz Lahav in the Negev, drove to Havat Gilad on Tuesday evening to deliver supplies to families affected by the wildfire that destroyed several homes on July 19. He brought honey, olive oil, and fresh vegetables from his farm. Amiti met Yael Shevach, whose home was destroyed in the fire and who lost her husband in a 2018 terror attack, as well as a mother of ten children who did not know where they would sleep that night. 'It was a moment that contained 3,800 years of existence of a people, that every time burns and blossoms anew, together,' Amiti said. Despite the devastation, he witnessed resilience: a man who lost his home told his children to look forward and start planning the new house. 'I left this visit inspired, I received strength, just before Tisha B'Av,' Amiti said. 'We have an amazing people and an amazing country, in every corner, from every sector, in every region. If only we learn to love and accept each other.'
