Roger Stanley z”l

Sending hugs and love to Marc Stanley and his family on the passing of Marc’s  brother Roger Stanley z”l.  Roger was the youngest of 4 brothers who dedicated his life to serving his community through his passion to help Seniors and Dogs, while taking time to travel the world and create lifelong friendships.  May his memory and spirit be a blessing onto those who knew and love him.

Rest in Peace Jacov Litman z”l and his 18 year old son,Netanel Litman z”l who were gunned down by Palestinian terrorist in their car while injuring other family members. These frequent killings are sadly too common to warrant headline news. Also, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Ambulance near the scene “boycotted” these victim and drove past the family.

18 year-old American Ezra Schwartz z”l was one of the 5 people killed in Israel this week.  Two were stabbed in Tel Avivand 3 (one Palestinian) were killed in Gush Etzion, including Ezra, who was from Sharon, MA. Where and What is Gush Etzion…? It is a neighborhood (“some” would call Settlements) yet “when” a Two-State solution is finalized, this neighborhood will remain part of Israel.  It is directly south of (and strategically protects) Jerusalem.  The origins date back to 1920 when the land was legally purchased and in the 1940s, Jewish agriculture villages were established till they were destroyed by Arab partners in 1948. The area was rebuilt after the 6-Day war in 1967.  Ezra was in the area passing out food to Israeli soldiers when he was killed.  May his memory and spirit bring comfort to his loved one and may his life and the other victims be a blessing onto Israel.
