One month after being brutally attacked in his home, Argentina’s chief rabbi appears in public in a meeting with the head of the Jewish Agency.
Rabbi Gabriel Davidovich receives Isaac Herzog at his Buenos Aires home and offered thanks to Jews around the world who expressed concern and offered prayers for him following the attack.
“It has really strengthened us a lot,” Davidovich says. “Health comes from everyone who called, who prayed… we will be fine.”
Herzog, making an official visit to South America, replies that “the phrase ‘All Israel is responsible for each other’ is not just a statement but an act, so I would like to wish you and your family a Happy Passover, with less pain, less worry and more love of Israel.”
Herzog tweets in Hebrew, Spanish and English that the rabbi is “recovering and was very moved by the outpouring of love from Jewish communities around the world.”
