Ozar HaTorah Victims' Funeral in Israel





Victims in the attack on the Ozar HaTorah Jewish school in Toulouse had a funeral service in Israel. The bodies of Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, his four-year-old son Gabriel, his five-year-old son Arieh, and seven-year-old Miriam Monsonego were laid to rest in a cemetery in Jerusalem.

El Al Israel Airlines brought the victims and families from France to Ben Gurion International Airport overnight, and about 400 people, including French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe and US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, attended the funeral ceremony and listened to eulogies. The assault on the Jewish school is the worst attack against Jews in decades.
