President Reuven Rivlin visits the family of Malachy Moshe Rosenfeld, who was shot dead in a drive-by shooting in the West Bank last week.

“All of our hearts are with you here, and I pray that we will be beside you again in the many happier times that await you in the future. The days of mourning are dark days when we have the challenge of, as the verse says, to ‘shake ourselves free, and rise from the dust,’ and we will be here to accompany you on this difficult journey,” Rivlin tells Malachy’s parents, Sarah and Eliezer, in their Kochav Hashahar home.

In response, Eliezer tell Rivlin: “My son just wanted to play basketball, and come home to tell me about the game.”
