We the Nation and People of Israel Mourn the Victims of Terror Killed this
Past Week in Jerusalem

Asher Natan (age 14) - the youngest of the victims. He was the oldest of eight children and had left his home on Shabbat evening after the meal, to meet friends. When the shooting was over, Asher’s father broke through police barricades and discovered the lifeless body of his son.
Shaul Chai (age 68) - the gabbai of the Zechor L'Avraham synagogue in Pisgat Zeev. He was gunned down outside the Ateret Avraham synagogue. He was spending Shabbat with a relative's home and had been walking back to Pisgat Zeev when he was murdered.
Eli and Natali Mizrhi (age 48 and 45) - were murdered when they left their home to try and help the victims. Natali was shot at close range as she performed CPR on one of the victims. Eli and Natali were relative newlyweds, married only two years.
Rafael Ben-Eliyahu (age 56) - is survived by his wife and three children. He worked for the Israel Post. He was known as a modest and humble person.
Irina Korolova (age 59) - a Ukrainian citizen who came to Israel six years ago, and worked as a private nurse in Neve Yaakov.
Ilya Sosnaski (age 26) - a resident of Jerusalem and a locally-known DJ and musician. He leaves behind his parents and four siblings.

VICTIM OF A PREVIOUS TERRORIST ATTACK:
Shimon Maatuf (age 75) - of Moshav Barkat, succumbed to wounds he sustained 9 months ago, in an attack by two Palestinians armed with axes in the city of Elad.
Although critically wounded, Shimon was stabilized and moved from the ICU to rehabilitation facility, where he had remained until November. Never fully recovered, he was in and out of the hospital ever since, until finally succumbing to his wounds this week. Shimon is survived by his wife, six children and 13 grandchildren.

Thursday Bar Mitzvah: Mazal Tov Ezra! 

Ezra Mitrani Buchman became the first grandson in the Buchman Mitrani Families on January 22, 2010. During his early years, he attended the Temple Beth Shmuel Montessori School where we have some fondest memories with families and friends. Ezra went on to North Beach Elementary School but finished 5th grade at Lehrman Day School just in time to pick up his Hebrew studies for his Bar Mitzvah. Ezra joined his sister Drea at Ransom Everglades for middle school.  

Ezra loves sports.  He has been playing basketball since

he was very young and this year he plays for both the Miami Beach Elite JCC Travel team and the Ransom Everglades Basketball team when he is not studying for his Bar Mitzvah.
He can share detailed statistics on any player, on any sports team. Ezra organized a live Fantasy Football League with his friends this year which made for a vibrant and busy first semester of his school year.
Ezra is always the guy to make his family laugh. He is a critical thinker and makes a real effort in his studies.  
Ezra has an older sister, Drea, who is fifteen years old and a younger sister, Arielle Mazi, who is eight years old. The Buchman Family also have a dog named Millie, who joined their family two years ago during the pandemic. 
Ez is looking forward to going back to Camp Judaea this summer with his friends and this time, his younger sister Ari will join him.
