NY Jewish mother, kids killed in menorah fire buried in Israel

A Jewish woman and her three children killed in a Brooklyn house fire — touched off by the family’s menorah — are buried in Israel on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Aliza “Luza” Azan was found dead on the second floor of the single-family home near the children who perished: 11-year-old Moshe, 7-year-old Yitzhak and 3-year-old Henrietta. The children’s father and two teenagers were hospitalized in critical condition.

The four victims are buried in the Holon municipal cemetery in the central coastal strip of the country.

Although Israel’s municipal cemeteries are usually reserved for residents of the city, Religious Services Minister David Azoulay makes a special request that their burial be permitted as the Jewish family once lived in the country, the Ynetnews website reports.

Both parents were Israeli-born and raised.
