The family of slain hostages Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel publishes the route of their funeral procession and urges the public to show support along the way.
The Wednesday funeral will be closed to the general public.
The procession will depart from the Hevra Kadisha in Rishon Letzion (Ehad Ha’Am 1) at 7:45 a.m.
It will then pass the Rishonim Interchange at 08:00 in the direction of Route 431. At 8:15 a.m., it will go over the Yavne Interchange bridge, and then pass through the Silver Junction at 8:30.
The funeral procession will proceed past the Yad Morderchai Junction at 8:45 a.m., Nir Am Junction at 9:00, and Sha’ar Hanegev Juntion at 9:15.
The funeral service will be broadcast at 11:30 a.m..
In a statement yesterday, the family said that “in order to enable the family to say their goodbyes in the most personal and intimate way, and due to space limitations, the funeral ceremony itself will only be for members of the family and close friends.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
