'Instead of a wedding we're burying a father and son'

Rabbi Ya'akov Litman and his son Netanel, who were murdered in a terror attack near Hevron on Friday, were buried Saturday night in Jerusalem's Har Hamenuchot cemetery, amid scenes of heartbreaking grief.

Rabbi Litman's daughter, who was supposed to be married this week, could be heard weeping loudly above the crowd of mourners who came to pay their respects. Family members had to physically support her.

Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral, including President Reuven Rivlin, Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi David Lau, Jerusalem's Sephardic and Ashkenazic Chief Rabbis Shlomo Amar and Aryeh Stern, Deputy Defense Minister Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan, and many other prominent rabbinic and public figures.

Eulogizers noted how beloved Rabbi Litman was to his students, including those he taught at the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva High School. "The Yeshiva has endured another blow of terror. This blow is hard on us," Rabbi Eitan Eizman said at the funeral, referring to the massacre of eight students studying in the yeshiva library by a Palestinian terrorist in 2008.

President Rivlin expressed the sense of grief shared by those present.

"We stand here and it is difficult to contain... and difficult to accept how in one moment a family celebration can turn into such a great tragedy," he said, noting the family were on their way to a pre-marriage celebration (Shabbat Chatan) for their daughter's fiance.

Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi David Lau echoed that sentiment.

How very sad. I don’t know how the Israelis maintain their control and composure. I would have annihilated every “palestinian” anywhere near my country.

Condolences to family and friends of father of son.

Yes

Some of the talking heads are saying that America and Europe need to get used to the "new normal".

I guess that would be to make no big deal of frequent terrorist attacks by animals that want to exterminate us.

The problem isn’t just with Pali Muslims, it’s all Muslims and Islam. Do you really think the politicians care? No. How do I know that?

The Europeons have been importing Muzzies big time since the end of WWII. Muzzies have been coming into America since the 1920s. And with each Muslim terrorist attack both respective lands have been importing them in greater numbers. The Leftists who run Europe and America LOVE, absolutely LOVE Muzzies. I am of the opinion now that if the Muzzies nuked America and/or Europe both respective lands would import them in numbers that make the current import numbers look like child’s play.

“”Some of the talking heads are saying that America and Europe need to get used to the “new normal””

Then they can start the process by having all armed security removed from their homes and their work places...
All doors to all TV studios/newspapers are left unguarded and unlocked. Let’s see how mouthy they are then!

At GATES OF VIENNA website, there’s a link to a
PETITION addressed to Obama demanding that a
MORATORIUM be placed immediately on ALL “migration”
from the Middle East.

No, no. Can’t have that. They’re more important than the unwashed masses who can’t be trusted with a firearm because we might commit an act of islamophobia by protecting ourselves from a terrorist attack.

Today the French should understand Israel a lot better.

After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding this
to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our turn is
coming again soon. We stand united against Islamic
extremists, oxymoron or not.

What happened in Paris is daily life for Israelis. RIP.
