I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

What a large bit of liveliness, fun, glory of life has been taken from the world, in those boys!
As Elisha asked, when Elijah was being taken, Lord give to us a double portion of what You have allowed to be taken from us in them!
And, Lord, will you steadily comfort those boys' parents, family, friends --and those of us who, though we did not know them personally, still grieve for the bereftness left on this earth.
And, Carl, thank you for what you do here.
sincerely,
Ma Sands

It is both depressing and maddening how there exists people who can rationalize away this slaughter. Hopefully a glance at these young and vibrant people, murdered for being Jewish, will stun the rationalizers to silence.
where can I get their fathers names? My shul wants to dedicate a library to their memories but needs their Hebrew names (father's names) raqther than last names.
That 2 of the students also had U.S. citizenship makes the media silence here where I live in Florida even more puzzling to me. One student was a French citizen, another Canadian, and one dual citizenship w/Ethiopia, yet I'm not hearing much of this massacre in the international news.
Orde, where have you learned of the boys' different citizenships? --in Carl's J-Post link, I see one who had both parents connected with the U.S. .....have you other links?

Ma Sands,
From the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs,which btw you can subscribe to and they'll send by email press releases, info on what happens in meetings both within and without Israel, selected letters to the editor, etc.
I'm just really confused as to why here in Florida we haven't heard much about this. If a U.S. citizen were killed in such an act elsewhere I bet it'd be news.
Orde
Thank you, Orde......I just added that to LGF's spinoff links......I hope that helps.
sincerely,
Ma Sands
