With terrible pain we mourn the tragic murder this morning of four kedoshim in Eretz Yisroel. These four innocent martyrs left more than twenty orphans to mourn their senseless loss.

And then there were the many beside them who barely escaped with their lives but were severely injured.

These innocent victims were attacked while praying; attacked while their backs were turned and their heads were bowed in devotion. Their only crime was that they were Jews.

And then the mocking: To see Arabs fill the streets, dancing and giving out candy to children in celebration of barbaric behavior and cold blooded murder.

May the Al-mighty console the bereaved families, protect His people, and strengthen our resolve.
