Elie Wiesel z"l (of blessed memory) and Mickey Mark HY"D (May God Avenge his blood): United in life and in death

On Friday afternoon Michael 'Mickey' Marc HY"D was murdered while driving his car near his home in Otniel. He is being buried today.

On Saturday night, Elie Wiesel z"l passed away.

If Marc and Wiesel meet on their way up to Heaven, perhaps they will recognize each other, for they have met before.

An eerie photo has surfaced of Elie Wiesel hanging a mezuzah in Otniel. Next to him in the photo stands Michael Mark (gesturing with his hand).

Michael was murdered on Friday, when a terrorist sprayed more than 20 bullets at his car. Killed instantly, his car flipped, with his wife and children inside. His wife is still on life support, although his son Pedaya is set to be released today, while another daughter is awake in the hospital.

In a strange parallel, Elie Weisel passed away on Saturday, at the age of 87. Weisel,  a Holocaust survivor known for personifying "Never Again," fought to represent the Jewish nation reborn, stronger than ever.

In the picture, they were together at the dedication of a new Beit Midrash (Torah study hall) in the town of Otniel, where Marc lived and close to where he was murdered on Friday.

Then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is standing behind Wiesel in the picture above. Marc is the man with the jacket and the white shirt without a tie. Here is a picture of the actual mezuzah hanging. 

If I'm not mistaken, the man with the large white kipa and the longish white hair in the back (better seen in the top photo with his hands on Wiesel's shoulders) is Yitzchak (Ira) Rennert, a well-known American Jewish philanthropist. If I'm wrong, someone will correct me and I will delete this.
