The children of Rabbi Miki Mark silence mourners at the funeral who shout for “revenge.”
“Whoever wants to scream nonsense should leave,” a family member says, according to Channel 2. “This wasn’t what Abba [father] wanted. We are focusing on his memory and on doing good. He had Arab friends.”
His daughter Tehila, who was injured in the attack, arrives at the funeral in an ambulance.
A relative reads her eulogy.
“I saw you in your last moments,” she says. “When I heard the gunshots, I ducked down, but you never left the wheel. You didn’t protect yourself — until your last breath, you tried to save us. I never imagined that this would be our last moments with you.”
“We will we strong for you, because I know that’s what you would want. God took you because he needs more righteous people. Watch over us from above.”
