Yesterday in Jerusalem, the four Jewish victims of the horrendous terror attack in Paris were buried. Thousands accompanied them to their final resting place singing songs, reciting psalm, and crying. Israels president Reuven Ruvi Rivlin - ראובן רובי ריבלין beautifully spoke, and summed up my thoughts completely: Yoav, Yohan, Philippe and Francois-Michel, this is not how we wanted to welcome you to Israel. This is not how we wanted you to arrive in the Land of Israel. This is not how we wanted to see you come home, to the State of Israel, and to Jerusalem, its capital. We wanted you alive and we wanted for you, life. At moments such as these, I stand before you, brokenhearted, shaken and pained, and with me stands and cries an entire nation. May we be blessed to stand together in Jerusalem to witness the coming of Messiah instead of the burial of terror victims. Amen!
