    These beautiful children could be anyones child or grandchild. Just how much hate do these cowards have to be able to commit such a horrific act. Even with the poor record in France of relations with Jews, I can’t imagine that they won’t use every resourse available to find and bring these animals to justice.

    With the loss of that beautiful child, who once lit Shabbos candles, the world has become increasingly much darker. May we all merit in the z’chus of these pure neshomos to finally see the light to end this terrible exile. עד מתי
