“We cry but are strong. We will not let them break us,” said a weeping Chief Sephardi Rabbi Shlomo Amar at the funerals.
Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein, representing the government, said he had no words that could comfort the survivors except that “all of Israel embraces you today.”
Thousands of people crowded along the route to the Har HaMenuchot cemetery in the Givat Shaul neighborhood in Jerusalem.

why do we only have achdus at the funeral. why can’t we have it the rest of the day.
Is there one Israeli, even the most radical and most most hateful that would even dream to do such a dastardly act. They are bloody murderers.
May Hashem send the families the strength to deal with this terrible tragedy. I have tears in my eyes seeing the 4 bodies, of 4 innocent people that were targeted for only one reason, being Jewish. As Yidden we have to stand together, and not fight with each other, when one Yid dies, we all feel the pain.
My heart cries bitter tears. Please Hashem–enough already–Please. May the families find nechamaץ What a bitter day for Klal Yisroel.
