President tells Ansbacher family slain daughter inspired nation

President Reuven Rivlin tells the family of slain teen Ori Ansbacher that their daughter has been an inspiration to many people after her death at the hands of a suspected Palestinian terrorist.

“In every interview about her, people talk about the light that shone from her,” he says, according to a statement from his office. “People are going out to walk along the paths that she walked along, people are talking about the good they see around them – and this is a great gift that she gave us without even knowing it.”

Ori means “my light” in Hebrew.
