Yaakov Argamani, who is flying to the United States in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official Wing of Zion plane, along with his daughter Noa, weeks after she was rescued from captivity in Gaza, asks for passengers on the flight to create a quorum so he can say the Kaddish Jewish mourning prayer for his recently deceased wife Liora.
The Mincha minyan, or quorum of 10 Jewish men — led by The Times of Israel’s diplomatic correspondent — includes government hostage point man Gal Hirsch, journalists, and family members of hostages.
