Attend Tonight's Memorial Service for Slain Israeli Teenagers
(The July 2 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)
MEMORIAL SERVICE HONORING THE SLAIN ISRAELI TEENS-AT CONGREGATION ADATH JESHURUN, 7/2/14 AT 7:00 PM
Two days ago, after more than two weeks of desperate searching, the bodies of Naftali Frankel, Eyal Yifrach and Gilad Shaar, Israeli Jewish teens, were found apparently murdered shortly after they were abducted on their way home from school in the West Bank.
According to CNN, one liked basketball and was a gifted musician who played a mean guitar as well as the flute. Another liked to bake cakes for his five younger sisters. The third would bring jars of cookies to study hall for his classmates.
Their funerals were yesterday in Modiin (a town between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv), and they will be buried next to each other.
Tomorrow night, Louisville's Jewish Community will come together to honor their memory and their sacrifice as Louisville's Jewish Community Relations Council and the Louisville Board of Rabbis and Cantors lead a memorial service.
Please join us at Congregation Adath Jeshurun, 2401 Woodbourne Ave., at 7:00 pm as we pray that no other family has to go through what the families of these three teens went through.
(From Interfaith Paths to Peace): "These cruel murders underscore how reprehensible it is to kill children, no matter what the cause, country, party or group involved. Killing children must stop."
