    Authorities ordered increased security at schools and synagogues around the country after an attack that drew high-level uproar in Israel and revolted France, where school shootings and deadly attacks on Jews are extremely rare.

    Kol Hakovod to Chabad’s Kiruv work, worldwide.

    This does not appear to be a Chabad School but many Chabad Mekuravim seemed to have sent their children to this school as evident by the Lubavitcher Yarmulkes which you can see in the photos.

    This is an all jewish school. It is lovely to see how so many different yidden with different levels of yiddishkeit just go to one school. It’s heartwarming. Oy nebach!! Hamakom yenachem…. the family of the deceased.
