Hashem Yerachem

Tonight the whole Jewish nation and world is in mourning and outrage, following the most terrible news that our 3 boys, missing for 18 days, have been found dead via an act of terrorist barbarism . I cannot write any more, I veer from deep upset, to deep incredible anger. I am lost for words. Gutted. The whole civilised world needs to condemn this atrocious act of terrorist barbarism and support Israel in response to this outrage. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with the families of these boys. 

I believe that Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, spoke for all British Jews, in the following :
“We are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the tragic fate of the three Israeli teenagers, Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach. Today, the Jewish people and many others are mourning the loss of three precious souls, who were taken in the prime of their lives.We stand as one with their families, teachers and friends. May they find strength and support in their time of grief.We pray for stability and security in the region and for the right of innocent men, women and children to live their lives in peace”.
