They buried them Thursday.  Eight students were murdered at the Mercaz Harav yeshiva, a Zionist seminary in Jerusalem. The driver of the shuttle bus brought an AK-47 inside a box.  They’re reporting that his name was Alaa Abu Dhein.

            One orthodox Jewish man was quoted as saying, "I want you to report this attack means something completely different to us because it wasn't on a bus or a coffee shop ... it was in the most sacred place for us Jews ... our religious school" (Fox News).

            It’s hard for us to imagine here in the States what it would be like to be vigilant all the time, everywhere.  In Netanya, the city in which we lived, you were checked when you went into the local grocery stores and the mall.  However, we also shopped at a little bulk foods store where we were never checked.  I suppose that store and many others can  easily be attacked.

            I’m sure security will now be increased at Mercaz Harav and that the grief will linger a very long time.
