The Jewish National Fund and its American branch, as well as the US Embassy in Israel, host a memorial ceremony in Jerusalem for the victims of the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
The ceremony, held at the 9/11 Living Memorial Monument in the neighborhood of Ramot, is attended by a number of JNF officials, as well as US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.
“In this beautiful plaza, at this inspiring location, we remind the families of those lost and we confirm to people everywhere, that we stand together – Americans and Israelis – and that together we continue to heal and to build, in a spirit of solidarity and commitment to the future,” says Friedman.
September 11 this year coincides with the Jewish new year, explaining why this year’s ceremony was held early.
