New Synagogue Inaugurated in Ofra in Memory of Two Terror Victims

In depth

In the Ofra settlement, a new synagogue was inaugurated in memory of two terror victims: Asaf Chaim Hershkovitz, may God avenge his blood, and Dvir Yehuda Shorak, may God avenge his blood. Inside the synagogue, named "Mizmor LeAsaf", is a prayer hall named after Dvir Shorak.

Dvir's father spoke about the closing of the circle: his son's bris took place at this site, and shortly before he turned 19, his funeral procession left from here. The bereaved father stood in the new synagogue and revealed this story.

The synagogue was inaugurated at a ceremony in memory of the two murdered men, who were killed in terror attacks. The commemoration marks their names in the new prayer house in the settlement.
