The Rabbinical Alliance of America — Igud HaRabbonim, representing over 950 American rabbis — joins the people of Israel and Jews across the world in mourning the savage killing of 17-year-old Rina Shnerb by a terrorist bomb on Friday, August 23, 2019, while she was hiking at a natural spring outside the town of Dolev in Samaria, Israel. Her father, Eitan, a rabbi in Lod and a battalion rabbi in the Israel Defense Forces, and her brother Dvir, 19, were injured when the bomb detonated and currently are in serious condition in a Jerusalem hospital. Tragically, this terrorist attack occurred just one week after Rina celebrated her birthday.

As the Sabbath approached late Friday afternoon in Lod, hundreds of mourners attended the funeral. [...Click headline above for more...]
