Widow Of Aharon Yesibe Hy”d: “My Birthday Gift Is The Sentence Of The Cursed Terrorist”

Two life sentences and another twenty years improvement were handed down to Riyad Chalil, the terrorist who carried out the cruel stabbing attack in the shul located in the Panorama building in Tel Aviv. The unfortunate terror attack took place a year ago taking the lives of two innocent people, Reuven Aviram (51) Hy”d and Aharon Yesibe (32) Hy”d, a member of the Chareidi community in Cholon.

The Almana of Aharon Yesibe shared with ‘’Bechadrei Chareidim’’ her feelings about the sentence that was handed down to the cruel terrorist who murdered her husband. “It’s a very hard day for me, the feelings, memories, difficult sights, the endless yearnings keep on surfacing and getting stronger from day to day. Especially when I heard the harsh sentence handed down to the odious terrorist.

No sentence in the world will return to me the person who was dear and beloved to me, the father of my five children, plucked at the prime of his life with extreme cruelty. I don’t derive any satisfaction or comfort from the sentence, but I am thankful to the team of prosecutors and judges that stood by myside this past year and succeed in handing down a severe sentence on the odious terrorist”.

Mrs. Yesibe added “the sentence is the maximum that could have been given, therefore I am satisfied, but the satisfaction will be whole when the redeemer comes and Hashem will take revenge of the spilled blood of my husband Hy”d. Only through emmunah, that is the only remedy for the makkos and tzaros that a person goes through in life”.

Every day I strengthen myself, this is what Hashem wanted and it’s for my best” she says ‘’ this is not a simple nesayon especially since today is my birthday and the gift that I received is the sentence of the cursed terrorist Ym”s. Instead of celebrating with my husband I am crying over him. But I thank Hashem for the strength that he gives me- to continue living my life AL Kiddush Hashem for my sake and the sake of my children”.

Also adding words of chizzuk and emmunah she says “May Hashem strengthen the families that have suffered from terror. He is the avi yesomim vedayan almanos. May he strengthen the government that they deprive the terrorists of day light, advanced education or any kind of luxury. They should serve their sentence through pain and sorrow as they left us- the bereaved families.”

As was previously reported in “Bechadrei Chareidim” two life sentences and twenty rears were handed down to Riyad Chalil, the terrorist who perpetrated the terror attack last year in the shul located in the panorama building in Tel Aviv. As mentioned the judges sentenced him with two life sentences one for each murder and twenty years for three crimes of attempted murder. He was also fined with 258 thousand Nis which he will have to pay to each of the families. As well, he well be paying 200 thousand Nis to one of the injured in the attack.

The team of judges headed by Sarah Dotan wrote in the sentencing that the act of murder perpetrated was “exceptionally severe”.
