Community Prayer service at the J

“Earlier today, four rabbis were murdered at morning services at Kehilat Yakov Synagogue in Jerusalem. The attackers left behind bibles and prayer shawls soaked in blood. We mourn with the families of Rabbi Moshe Twersky (59), Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky (43), Rabbi Avraham Goldberg (68) and Rabbi Kalman Levine (55). Rabbis Twersky. Levine and Kupinsky we dual Israeli and American citizens. Rabbi Goldberg was a dual Israeli and British citizen. Eight others were wounded, including one Israeli police officer.
 This was a premeditated act of terrorism.  The attackers — two cousins from East Jerusalem — entered the synagogue during the silent Amidah and began hacking and shooting while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” The terrorists, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, were killed by Israeli police at the scene. Hamas supporters in Gaza danced in the streets and handed out candy to celebrate the bloodshed.
Tonight, we come together as a community at 6 PM at an evening service here in Austin at Congregation Agudas Achim, 7300 Hart Lane, to mourn the innocent victims, to express solidarity with the people of Israel and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”
