The victims of Tuesday's terorrist attack in Be'er Sheva

I have a redhead.

My youngest, Hadassah.

My fireball. My heart.

Everywhere we go,

people comment on her hair.

Redheads stick out.

We notice them.

And so I noticed

Rabbi Moshe Kravitzsky.

At pick up.

At my son’s school.

Each day.

Always smiling.

With his bicycle.

The one he was riding yesterday

when he was mowed down and killed.

Baruch Dayan HaEmet.
