A Terrorist Killed My Wife While She Was in Labor. The Heartbreaking Story of Tze'ela Gez

An arab terrorist shot and killed Tze'ela Gez on her way to the hospital to deliver her fourth child. Shortly after that horrible murder her husband, Chananel Gez, gave this powerful testimony of faith. He shares the miracles around how they met, the amazing impact Tze'ela had on many people around the world as a counselor, how she died, how their son is doing, how he told their other children what happened to their mother, how he handled the stress of the burial with faith and honor to encourage all of Israel who were mourning with him, and he even shared some of the miracles involved in the IDF finding and neutralizing the terrorist.

His faith and courage is an inspiration. He also shared some insights that can help all of us through the difficulties we go through in our lives. And he has some advice for the leaders of the nation of Israel. This is all amazing coming from a man who is suffering with the grief of watching his wife, the mother of his four children, be killed right in front of him. “You don’t choose the tragedy, but you choose how to respond to it.”

Chananel shared his story on the Living Lchaim podcast with Yako Langer.
