We the Nation and People of Israel Mourn Our Brethren  
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of Palestinian Terrorists — torn apart in one senseless moment this past week.

Lucy (Leah) Dee (48) z'l
Maia Dee ( 20) z'l
Rina Dee (15) z'l

Sisters Maia and Rina, and their mother Lucy Dee were murdered when a terrorist riddled their car with bullets while on their way to a family vacation.

Rabbi Leo Dee, father and husband of the victims, described his older daughter Maia as "beautiful and perfect" and as a "guardian angel" who planned to commit to a second year of national service. He explained that Rina had wanted to travel

the world, and that now she will be "traveling to heaven." Maia, Rina and Lucy are survived by their father and 3 other siblings. 

May their memory be a blessing.
